Just finished unloading container from Crown...
..and not 1 thing broken/scratched or dented!!!
Well chuffed as we didn't bother with insurance and were a bit worried!!
The guys here said it was really well packaged and that was why nothing was damaged, for example, the dining chairs had about 20 pieces of paper wrapped around and then cardboard.
the only thing broken was a pestle and mortar that other half dropped unwrapping
So, a big
for crown from us!!!

Re: Just finished unloading container from Crown...
Such a great feeling to get your stuff isn't it?
The only thing of ours that was broken was a glass fruit bowl, I was busy telling my mum and that it was actually not the end of the world because I didn't like it, when I remember that she had bought it!!!!!! So I quickly changed the description

Re: Just finished unloading container from Crown...
it sure does feel great!
we actually live in a home now and not a bedsit
Yes, i would recommend them. It's a shame it took so long (3 months) but i think that was the case with any removal at the moment.

TIA.

Re: Just finished unloading container from Crown...
Ours was all done by Simpsons in UK, but Hallas in Sydney is their local removalists. Our shipment arrived in Sydney on the 29th April and we are now waiting for customes and quarentine to clear it all, customs are holding it up as they have a big queue at the moment.
