Hi there,
I have got a quote from Allied Pickfords for £1700 for 400cubic feet. door to door...........Britannia was slightly dearer, as was anglo pacific.....Pickfords insurance a bit high though at 3.5%. The guy that came out was superb....we are not taking much but that didnt matter to him, he was very professional...no hard sell, didnt even push the insurance just said it was up to me what i wanted to do. |
Made decision!
For any west country folks out there we are going to use Armishaws based in somerset,dorset,wiltshire. 0800 9171015.
Sole use of 40ft £4750. Miles better than any other quote we have had and they seem very on the ball (at the moment). Max:) |

Originally posted by maxpaxx Had first quote today from Robinsons - Just thought I would share it with those who are interested what a fright we have had! Part of the reason for the delay is my fault - the insurers insist on us providing quotes for having he damaged items repaired (although most of them are write-offs) but it's so difficult getting people e.g. carpenters, out. Watch out you don't under insure. In an effort to save a bit we put the value of some of our furniture as much less that it is worth - some of those items are now damaged beyond repair so it's going to cost us even if we do eventually get paid out by Robinsons. |
does anyone now if mildew is a problem?
We have a bike trailer ( for towing the children behind bikes). unfortunately it must have been damp, when Mr Bazfer put it away. it now has mildew on the fabric. We have washed it , in the machine and with a power hose. it still looks stained. will it pass aqis, or should we forget about taking it:( thanks |
Have you tried that Vanish Oxy powder stuff.........it took mildew out of our tent that was put away damp.......just mix up a solution of it in a spray bottle give it a skoot...leave then rinse

Has anyone used Harrow Green International for shipping we found the information they sent us helpful and the manager seemed very knowledgeable but no one ever talks about them on this siteI would be happy if anyone had even had a quote from them.
