crown removals
Just want to check that this:
http://www.crownrelo.com
is the crown, that people are referring to when talking about shipping their gear. I have found a few "crowns" by googling and dont want to end up with some delboy outfit who happen to use the same name!
Cheers.

Re: crown removals
I have a couple of others coming to quote as well but quite a few people have said that crown did a decent job so i thought i would get them in as well. If its £2000 more, i'll take my chances with someone else!
Cheers for the reply,

Re: crown removals
We used Crown 
They were £3400 for a 20ft container which was the most expensive, but glad we opted for them

Re: crown removals
for sole use of a 40ft container, whereas Conroys, who we ended up using, charged us $12000 for sole use of a 40ft. When we had initially moved out to NZ we had around 5 quotes and went with Pickfords who weren't the cheapest or the most expensive but seemed to offer the most professional service (had a bad experience with stuff being left in UK and quite a few breakages so we certainly didn't get them to quote for the return trip!!)Maggie

Re: crown removals
We had a few in recently, including Crown relocations and they didn't come out the most expensive for us - Robinsons did - which was a huge surprise! Our quote was for a 20ft sole use container so you might be pleasantly surprised. Good luck.

Re: crown removals
We came out in May this year. We'd got quotes for 20' container (all of them professionally pack and remove rubbish at this end) from memory, PSS 3,350 GBP, Anglo-Pacific 3,700 GBP, The Removal Group using F&N Worldwide 3,150 and Crown 4,200 GBP.
We used the Removal Group. They were fab. They do everything the expensive guys do, only cheaper! Container only took 6 weeks not 9, there were no breakages and everything that went in that end, turned up here so nothing lost or 'missing'.
