Was your shipping quote for volume accurate
Hi,
We are getting quotes for shipping the same stuff from between 250 and 350 cubic feet. A big difference. For those who shipped a shared container (not interested in sole containers, thanks) did the loaded volume match the quote.
It seems that companies could quote for a low volume to sign you up, then make you pay anyway. Very interested in how accurate the quotes are from which companies

Well yes - ish
Had 3 quotes, 2 agreed well, one was over the top on volume and price. Not sure I should mention their name but it rhymes with Dickfords
