hi all

we got a quote from crown today going to bunbury just down from perth this is our 2nd quote. we are wanting a groupage quote around 340 to 370 cu ft

our first quote was £2.290.00, without quareentine fees and is 5.50% insurance.

crown quoted us £2.100.00 with quareentine fee included and insurance is 3%

No way, we get ours picked up with excess on the 12th too, from derby to Brisbane. wonder if we get ours the same time on the other end.

Good luck, what insurance did you take?

Hi JB

We used Crown...Shotts to Brisbane, then delivered by them approx.350 kms up the coast. 310 CU FT for £1632.00 (groupage) this included 6 wks free storage, and all fees at this end. Absolutely no problems with them whatever, excellent service all round, and you can track when your stuff is going to arrive online. Only 1 small thing broken.

All the best
BB :cool:

p.s. don't forget to haggle with them, they know people get various quotes and are prepared to lower their prices to get your business.

Re: quote from crown
 

Shotts is just down the M8 from Kirky, about 15 miles or so. (we were 12 miles from Motherwell and 15 or so from Hamilton). We stayed there for 7 years prior to emigrating this September. I'm a Paisley Buddy! and hubby is from all over Glw.

Re: quote from crown
 

it's a small world but we are going very far away. what made you want to leave emmigrate.

i have never even been before i have allways wanted to go so we said lets chance if it doesnt work come back start a knew then go some where else anywhere but here.

john. :)

Re: quote from crown
 

Hi i've not been on for ages, just spotted your thread. I would recommend Crown 100% they were brilliant. they dealt with everything and nothing was broken at all. i have had heard bad reports about Pickfords and we have made new friends here who used pickfords and loads of stuff was broken.

The thing i like about Crown is they provide the service at both ends so they don't subcontract to anyone else and they pack and unpack for you, too easy. it was worth every penny we paid.

you never can tell..... we'll need to keep each other updated if we do hear anything!!


did i hear someone mention shotts on here?? ma granny lived in sunny harthill (well eastfield if you must) right up until the day she died....

Re: quote from crown
 

Another vote for Crown, price was a little more expensive but everything included. Door to door. Nothing broken and great service. We shipped from Clydebank to Melbourne back in June.

If you do a search on here you will find lots of info on shipping companies.

Best of luck.
