Default removal companies

Hi

We are moving back to Mandurah in July - thank goodness - cant wait!!! Just one ping and pong for us!

Can anyone recommend any good removal companies? We have had a quote from Pickfords which seems reasonable for a 20ft container but wondered if anyone has had any other reccomendations.
We used Doree Bonnar in 2006 any they were ok - but found a few boxes packed with coat hangers!!

Cheers

On the whole Doree Bonnar were ok - just think they could of used the space available a little better! When we came back in Jan 07 we used a co that stuffed our fridge with linen and used every space available. Interesting when it came to unpacking! We may even get another quote from them but if we use them we will watch them pack.
Still havent found those clothes!!

Hi, we could not fault Crown Relocations, had their full packing and unpacking service, nothing broke, damaged or missing, they even put everything back together at the other end, left us with the few boxes where we didnt know where to put stuff and then picked them up a few days later after 1 phone call. (Empty boxes that is)

Thet were not the cheapest but also not the most expensive by a long way, didnt use their insurance though as they want 3% we used Letton Percival and I think they wanted 1.6%.

A Letton Percival & Co Ltd
The Old Malthouse
Trueman Street
Liverpool
L3 2BA
tel: 0151 236 4568
fax: 0151 255 0288

Good luck

Rob.

Thanks - will try Crown too. Best to look at all options. Insurance info good as we need to take some out for a few items.
