I hjave had 3 quotes. Bishops were best by nearly £500 they also advsised they would undertake any steam cleaning and disinfecting (bikes garden furniture) etc. other companies just explained we had to do this work and they wouldpack.
Their insurance was also a fair amount cheaper than all the others they ask for 2.8% of the total cost against 4% elsewhere. There have been very good threads about Bishops on this forum:lecture:

Are you thinking of taking all of your nice plastic garden furniture We bought a huge table last year and would like it to come with us, a bit worried about cleaning it though!

Ironically I had a meeting with John Masons today - they seem really efficient and on the ball - the best company I've come across in terms of efficiency, curtesy and sincerity - with lots of up to date information about customs etc.

So, leaning towards them if the price is right!

They were recommended to me through friends

John Masons also quoted 2.8% on isurance - but will obtain quote with bishops as well - thread sounds good!

I shall have to try Anglo Pacific. Have just got off the phone from PSS Several e-mails ignored; after they had given us the idea of an excellent price!!! Tried to phone them direct - pressed the button as told and waited 7 minutes Hung up!! Sent a sarcastic e-mail about them not requiring new business and they were obviously too busy.

Girl phoned me - did not have a clue what I wanted kept me hanging on while she 'looked for my e-mails' then said they were too busy to come for a while?

What a waste of space she was not good face for the company.

I'll have a go at Anglo Pacific now I've got that off my chest:scared: :scared: :scared:
