We used John Masons to move us to Brisbane and all I can say is excellent service. Out of all of our friends who came out at the same time with other companies we were the only ones who had no breakages, the service this end from the Company they use over here, Wridgeways was fantastic within two weeks of the ship arriving we had all our possesions. We had to have some things sent groupage as there was too much for one container and because it was groupage John Masons sent it to a different company from Wridgeways because a container was going to them and so we should get our things quicker, ship arrived 29th of November they delivered the things last week!!!!!
I can't recommend John Masons enough. It is a very stressfull time moving and they helped take some of that stress away.
Perhaps you should have phoned them rather than e-mail them, you never know something has maybe happened to the rep who came out to see you.

Doesn't really matter now as I'm going with Robinsons who had the written quote to me the day after the visit.

Re: John Masons - waste of time
We used John Masons Liverpool and they have been excellent. My mum has also got quotes from various people and they were the cheapest and the quickest at responding. My sister and husband used them in October and have also found the service faultless. Dont know whether it is cos we are quite local to the offices but I wouldnt hesitate to recoemmend them.

Hi,We got a quote from masons the day after stevebannister and found them very professional ,with there quote arriving a few days later.Allied pickfords were cheaper,although masons said if you get a cheaper quote come back to them.I`m not to keen on that system as they should be giving a more competitive quote first time.(although I realise they are their to make money)Can any body else who have used pickfords recommend there service?

Pickfords was £2257 to Coff's or £1983 to Adelaide(409 cuft).
Blatchpack was £1090 to Coff's or £1440 to Adelaide(250 cuft).
Also had a quote from 1st Move International £1813.46 to Adelaide (250 cu ft).
What we did is mark out in tape on the floor (eg 250 cuft is 35 sq ft or 8ft high,5ft wide,7 ft deep) and then fill up any old boxes just to show you how you can fit in.
We did this because, one said we would need 409 cuft, the other said 250 cuft.
Hope this will help anyone.
