Provisionally booking removals.
Phoned my removal people up today to book them provisionally for the end of July and was told " Sorry fully booked for most of July have to be August!!!!" After a bit of juggling around with dates he could give me two days in July, just hope we have exchanged by then, don't want to have to wait till August!!! So if anybody else is near the exchange date and thinking of booking their shippers I would advise to do it today. :scared:

Its really hard isn't it, went with a removal company based in Kent called DAP, not the cheapest but the guy who came round knew what he was talking about, gave me the info I needed without being asked, came in at £3060.00 for a 20ft container not including insurance, PSS couldn't even get a quote to me at the moment for July as they are so busy so have decided on DAP, if you want their detaiils let me know and I will PM you.

Booked ours last week and have already had to change the date due to not exchanging yet! Incurred a £35 cancellation fee, so here's hoping we don't have to do it again. Also, the cost of the container has gone up by £90 since the quote.

OOh thats not nice, DAP told me that the dates can be changed if need be, hope you exchange soon, I don't think we will exchange until second week in July, removals booked for the end of that week, wanted the week after but couldn't get anything, whats holding you up with your exchange???
