Kent removals
 
Hello all

Not been on here for ages :o anyhow we are moving back to blighty. We have had a few removalist companies come over we only have about 7.5 cubic metres . Kent removals have come in approx $1000 cheaper than anyone else at $2400 so obviously I am suspicious.
Does anyone have any experiences they could share?

Thanks

I'm using them to go back to UK. 20ft container is costing me $7,800. Cheaper than all the other quotes i got which were between $8,000 and $8,500.

Can't see why the cheapest would be rubbish, we used Crown to get here, most expensive of them all and they were bloody useless.

Thanks for that, I'm an untrusting stress head and always think if something is less then there must be a catch :D

We brought 7 packing boxes over from Uk and they were delivered by Kent. No problems - no damage. I'd use them again.

I've used Kent before, they were great and cheap. I'm based in Lane Cove and spoke to a 'Sarah Chavez', she was very helpful (this was back in 06).

we have just had a quote off them today for 15 cub metres which I believe is just ove half a 20 foot container their quote was for $4,100 with us packing at both ends. Chess where $4,000 and oss $4,700 so will start further negotiating tomorrow to see who comes up with best revised offer and will go with that.
