Re: Anglo Pacific
oooo-think we'll have to check them out then! Has your insurance got any excess?
Think we're gonna go with Anglo Pacific too...although we've still got to get quotes from PSS & Crown...they're coming Monday & Tuesday so we'll see what they have to say!

Re: Anglo Pacific
I think the excess is £50 but insurance is only from house pick up and whilst on ship and stops when the cargo lands at destination. If goods are damaged whilst in transit on ship it's all covered. I did see a picture on the internet of a cargo ship listing to the right and a few containers hanging over the edge and a few crushed, and apprently 2,000 - 10,000 a year get lost over board, so I think insurance is wise.

Well, we've now got all the quotes in for sole use of a 20' container:
Anglo Pacific...............£3598
Allied Pickfords............£3591
PSS..........................£3185
Crown.......................£3698
We have decided to go with PSS...I shall be ringing them in a matter of minutes! They have given us the cheapest quote & I have only heard good reports about them
Next...insurance...I shall definately be ringing Letton Percival for a quote!

Re: Anglo Pacific
Update:
have just come off the phone with PSS...they had previously quoted us £3185...which was pretty good anyway (£500 less than the other quotes we've had)...I asked if they could reduce it any & they knocked another £100 off!
Also, their insurance is 2.8% of the total value of your goods, Letton percival is only 1.6% When I told PSS, they said they could reduce their insurance to 2% with only £50 excess rather than Letton's £100 or 1% whichever is the greater...so now, I'm not sure which to go with!
Just goes to show...it's worth asking for a discount! The worst they can do is say no!

Re: Anglo Pacific
Just been reading the thread. We used John Mason some time ago and they were brilliant. May not be the cheapest, not extortionate but certainly they were the best value for money in our opinion. Everything they said they would do they did. Give them a call. The number I had was 0151 449 3938 but their website is www.johnmason.com.
