Default Removal firms - any recommendations?

Hi all,
Medicals submitted this week.
Hopefully in Perth next January.
Can anyone recommend a removal company to get a quote from?
Or who to avoid?
Cheers,
Shona & Micky

Hi

We used John Mason and found them to be very professional. All the staff were friendly and our belonging arrived in just 8 weeks door to door. This is, of course, a personal opinion but it would be worth getting a quote from them. I do know others that are using them too.

Dare I ask about costs? What sort of quotes did you get? I have very little to take
but want to know if it's worth it?

Thanks

Hi Bob

Compared to some people we took very little too. We had around 200 cu ft and paid just under 900 pounds plus insurance @ 3%. This was from Yorkshire to Perth. If you get a cheaper quote from someone else ask John mason if they can match it as they did in our case. The only other charge was for quarantine inspection (our charge was $60). The most important thing was that nothing was damaged! You can get an online quote from www.johnmason.com

Thanks very much Claire,

I'm literally looking at just taking under half what you did! I'll give them a call.
