In case it were any of your business, english is not Farideh's first language. I didn't realise that this was a formal examination, or I would certainly have had her study first. Quite frankly, if you are unhappy with the grammar of other posters you should perhaps not read their posts.
In future, please proofread EVERYTHING you submit before shooting your mouth off. Have you had any formal manners/lack of manners training?

Bit rude of you to make such a personal comment and NOTHING whatsoever to do with this thread!

Dear Bacon Master,

Thank you for your exceptional feedback to Farideh's thread. I thought people of your calibre were extinct. How wrong our Anthropologists are. You are of course quite correct, her English grammar is not the best, this is perhaps because she is not English (the spelling of her name was a bit of a giveaway). Clearly you are so busy trying to master your ‘Bacon’ that you have little time for contact with other humans. I suggest you get off the ‘Bacon’ sites and get out the house a little more and start mixing with real people.

Kindest regards to you and your ‘Bacon’,

Farideh’s 'Bacon'.

How bloody rude are you.........I can make out exactly what Farideh has typed.

A case of what some would call intellectual aggression????
You want to be interpreted as a more clever individual than others, thereby making close minded and judgemental opinions on others without even understanding the reasons or facts.
I think it is in poor taste of yours be so blatantly rude in your post, perhaps you would like to retype your message in perfect arabic or did your formal education not provide you with the means to do this?
Return to the educational establishment you came from as it is evidently the only thing you care about or apply to become a proof reader for many of the newspapers and magazines around the world whose lack of proof reading before going to print causes an issue of concern to people like yourself.

Andrew Heeley from Crown is coming to see us tomorrow morning so this thread has been very useful for us - cheers!

Baconmaster - I think your comments were totally uncalled for

I think you'll find that "english" (sic) is normally spelt with a capital "E". Please go and stand in the corner with the pointy hat on, you rude, arrogant, arse.

Your manners, or lack of them, are terrible. I tried reading your post but you were talking from so far up your arse I gave up. In future please proof read EVERYTHING you submit in case it causes offence. If an impressionable child was to read this they could get very confused about acceptable and unacceptable ways to speak to people. Did no-one ever teach you how to communicate successfully with other people?

Just so your English is more acceptable in the future - "proofread" is one word, and you need to acquaint yourself with both the future subjunctive and the difference between singular and plural personal pronouns as referents to nouns.

Best regards,
T.

Hi there,

Hope baconmaster got a message. Having said that apology to chris and farideh wouldn’t hurt.

On a different or rather initial note, has anyone had any good/bad experience with PSS?
We received three different quotes and decided to go with PSS. ...haven’t signed anything yet.

But for 4k, 3 blokes will come and wrap everything in our house, hopefully carefully, load it onto a container, ship it to the other side of the world, see it through customs and then unload it in a house in Sydney.

It seems very good value for money compared with the robbing Bas***** that are estate agents....

We went with PSS 14 months ago. They did a good job, turned up on time and had an entire house plus a FULL shed packed in 6 hours flat. If it didn't moved, it got packed. The lads were subcontractors to PSS I think but they were regulars for them.

I took out insurance, can't remember the rate but I had to itemise everything with replacement value. I wasn't going to bother with the insurance until someone told me how their friends stuff got dropped into Sydney harbour......

The container arrived in Perth on-time and was released a couple of days later. I did have to pay the quarantine inspection fee that I thought was included, but the documents indicate that it isn't - remember that. The fee can't be included up front as it's a variable fee. All in all, we only had two breakages; both dolls furniture that was crushed when it was repacked after inspection. I didn't claim the insurance as they were not worth the paperwork.

Remember everyone that no matter who packs it, it won't be their ship that brings it and it almost certainly will not be the same company who delivers it to you in Oz. With shipping, price isn't everything - quality and services is everything. I'd still recommend PSS here and I think previous discussions have given them a good overall rating.
