Let me know if you find one, I emailed 3, only got a response from one (pickfords) and they quoted me £591 for 3 boxes!!!!

That was Tuesday and i've only just stopped laughing!!

Just bought some boxes, gonna pack them up and then email the size, weight, and contents to a few companies and try and get it to a decent figure.

Good luck!!

Seven Seas were fab for me. I shipped 18 boxes and cost me £500ish door to door.

I've got it down to £209 for three boxes, but it needs to get lower or i'll be leaving it all behind!
