Smile Shipping Quotes

Thought I'd post our shipping quotes from Glasgow to Halifax NS.
Sole use of a 20ft container, door to door service.

PSS £3150 - insurance 3% of contents value
Doree Bonner £3600 - insurance 3% of contents value
White & Co £3350 - insurance 3% of contents value
Anglo Pacific £3500 - insurance 2.8% of contents value

I also believe all these prices are negotiable, as with insurance.

Hope this helps

Hi,
Their right with the increase so book sharpish while prices are low.
We used PSS and so far have been good, i managed to knock them down alot from our original quote and included insurance.
PSS were not the cheapest but had had good reviews from others especially travelling to NS.
Our stuff sets sail on 20th and arrives on 7th May, so a fast one too !!
Good luck on your move !!!!!

Richard

Thank you everyone.I think PSS will do for us too.
Nikki, did you have to negotiate the 2.5% insurance or was that offered?
