Default Only a couple of boxes to take...

Hiya,

I've been searching through the threads for a decent removal company, but all I can seem to find is info for moving a whole household. I am due to head to Perth at the end of June (from Newcastle) but am only gong to be sending a couple of tea cartons of stuff over so obviously don't need a 20' container! Does anyone have any recommendations for who to go through? I have been told about a company called Sevenseas.???

Cheers

Excess Baggage


I've not used these people, but others have and they
seem to be good. They do whole households, but they
also have a section that do boxes etc.

Hope it helps.

My understanding is that nearly every company will ship however much or little you want. If its just a little then you will go groupage (which is what I am doing) and will only pay for the cuft you use. If thats a small amount then you won't pay much.

I am shipping with John Mason as there guy was top. Got a good vibe from them and have read good things about them as well. PSS were a close second but JM won through. As long as the company do groupage then you are laughing.

For me 328cuft is costing £1600. I am a single fella but have a 3 bed house (for now). Not rammed with crap, just some stuff.
