Just had the shippers around.
Just had PSS around, absolutely top bloke, really professional and very patient. I asked him about six hundred thousand questions and he was more than happy to answer them and offered us some really good advice concerning some of the more unusual items that we will ship (loads of dental laboratory equipment)
Anyway he reckons we have about 850 cf of stuff and said that it would be around the £3500 for sole use of a 20ft reefer container (I'll let you know how much exactly when the quote arrives) Thats for a pick up here in Central London (the furniture) and one in Purley (the Lab equipment)
What do you all reckon? is that good? (don't think that includes insurance though)
Have a good one everyone
Dave and Sash
Oh yeah, he said that it would take about 6 weeks from here to Melbourne and they can collect in a couple of weeks.

We had anglo pacific in for a quote, they said it would cost us £4350 for a 20'container and excess international said £4295 for same. Your quote seems very good, wouldn't mind getting in touch with them also if you have their details.Cheers

Hi Paula, PSS number is 0208 686 7733. The assessor was Mr Roy Parkin (really nice bloke and very honest too) the quote for £3500 was only a rough one so it could be a bit more, I will let you know when it arrives.
All the best
