Default 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

Dave and Sasha.

HI - we have PSS in at this very moment packing up our stuff - two guys very professional and friendly - we are shipping out to Brisbane tomorrow. We have paid £4,014 including insurance for a 20ft GP container. We have a three bedroom house with "LOADS" of stuff and guys have said there will be no problem fitting it all in. Will let you know how it goes !

My brother used PSS and was very impressed with them - about the same price as you for 20ft container - we have their number and will use them too when we to get to go!
