We fly tomorrow
We are using DB and they've said its going to be a tight squeeze in a 20ft. Relieved to hear that you managed to squeeze it in! Have a good trip over!

We used DB & they well over estimated. We were told we had approximately 460 cubic foot of stuff, so we put some bits to one side that we weren't quite so bothered about to get it down to 400. The whole lot went in plus more & the final cubic footage was 280 (or maybe 260, so much has gone on over the last couple of months my brain is struggling). For example on the over estimating the guy measure our table at 80cf, we were dismantling it so he estimated 50cf although he said it was more like 30cf.

By the way what is the abbreviation for cubic feet

Fantastic pics, thanks for sharing that. How much of your stuff did you take with you? Just for an idea of what would fit in a 20' container.

3/4 bed semi-detached house.

Took all of our house stuff plus loads from the loft and sheds.

It was touch and go!

We started clearing out unused stuff months ago though. I would say a 3 bed semi would be about par.
