I'm sure these have all been asked before, but here goes anyway:

Generally how much is a container? Can I buy just part of one?

What other options are there instead of a container as we've got a bit to take but not that much really?

How soon before leaving do they take it away and can you leave it in storage with them if necessary?

Thannks,

Paul.

Finally, are you allowed to put your children in the container with the furniture...actually best not I suppose.

Hi Paul

We have been quoted £3499 for a 20ft container (sole use) with Anglo Pacific. This is the first quote we have had with more shippers coming to quote us over the next week, so I'm hoping we can get the price down a bit!! At the Emigrate show all the shippers we spoke to said it would be about £3000 for a 20ft container, but it depends on how much you have to go in it. That price doesn't include insurance either!

You can do part container but I've no idea how much cheaper that works out.

Good luck.

There's been a bit of bad press for Anglo Pacific on this forum - you might want to search "***** ********" (type in the whole thing including the quotation marks) to see what others thought of it. The bad press might have come from just a handful of people who have used them, as there are others who thougth it wasn't bad.

Thanks Mrs JTL, I think Pollyanna had problems if I remember rightly and although I've since heard some good feedback, I must admit it has put me off them.

We've also got PSS, John Mason, Crown and the International Moving Company coming to quote us and I hope one of them will give us a better quote.

Thanks.

Mrs JTL

Thanks for that...will have a look and maybe get some other quotes as well.....We are not taking much back tho, just some sentimental items and my hubby's tools.

Cheers,
