Default Has anyone gone with Wridgeways removalists?

As stated I am getting quotes for our effects-This company seems the most reasonable as Pickfords seem quite expensive-Can anyone shed some light on Wridgeways?

Grace is abit expensive-I think Wridgeways have quite good reviews well no worse than anyone else-we have gon ewith Allied Pickfords before but their prices have been going up.

Sorry are you moving to Aus? I know I asked that question before but I did put "to.... from" and you put Australia....coming out we used Robinsons and Grace at the Aus end...all very good but we had a shared container and migrating then was very slow so the shipping took months to arrive.....going to the UK we are using Chess.....good luck either way....going to dye my hair blonde now...lol..

Moving to UK-Chess has come in second with the quotes but Wridgeway has beaten it by $400-$500-every dollar helps!!
I see u on the other side!! I am so stressed at the moment -too much to do! and now my canal boat has sunk....

Yes it certainly was...cars in our area were stranded as the roads flooded..mind you it floods where we live in the winter rains anyway..lol...lots of tree damage around the parks and friends are having problems trying to get insurance to "sort out their cars".....our electricity and phone lines were off for over 24 hrs, water came in throught the back part of our home, water was cming up from the drains......still we were not hurt and thats the main thing....we should be use to the rain though...every year we get buckets full of the stuff in winter....and every year..we just never seem to cope in some areas though....

We had them after John Mason got our stuff from the UK to Brisbane. They brought the stuff down to us. We thought they were excellent, guys really nice and helpful. Don't know if they do the other end, I guess they could pass the container on to JM.

Anyway it was a thumbs up from us.
