If we wanted 10 cubic feet (about the size of a transit van) this would be about £800 plus insurance.
Good luck.

Re: Recent Quotes for Shipping?
 
Hi All,
We have had a chap from European Van Lines round. He seemed really nice not too over friendly and certainly not hard sell. I told him I had Crown and Dorre Bonner coming round. I mentioned my reservation with using Crown based on threads I have read on here and he suggested that the problem with Crown is that they are just too big and as a consequence they don't deliver the best service. However, he did say that Dorre Bonner were very good and went as far as to say that if we decided not to use his company we should definitely go with Dorre Bonner.

Does anyone have any experience of European Van Lines? I would like to get some feedback as I have only seen them mentioned on here once before.

Many Thanks
ACE

We had a quote from European Van lines for a 20ft sole use from Shropshire to Brisbane - £3,100

The information they sent was excellent - worth asking them
