Got PSS's quote in, negociated a bit, just waiting on John Mason's quote now, but likely to go PSS as been recomended them by my soon to be new employer and seen good reviews of them as well as own gut feel.
PSS quote £2638.00 for for 571 cb ft

Hope it helps.

BTW has anybody used Transfur, Jets4pets or Golden Arrow shippers for their pets?

I used Golden Arrow, I chose them because they are cheaper than some of the others but they do the same job and I heard great things about their service.

They organised everything at short notice and were always at the end of the phone. They boarded the cats for 9 days before they flew out and got very attached to them.

They collected our cats, you will need to mention that when you ask for quote as they won't assume you want collection. They organise the box and the paperwork and the final vet checks. But you should ask them if you need to get any jabs or anything up to date before they go, I had to take one of mine in for his annual jab a bit early as it would have expired during quarantine. I think there is a dog jab you are supposed to avoid - they will advise on that kind of thing.


Very helpful and very nice people.
