Hey Phyl,

Just a quick question If you dont mind

Who did u use for shipping? We have had a few quotes, but they are all around the £4k mark for a 20ft container!!

I really dont think we will fill one of those, and i noticed you are sharing a container, so hope whoever u have used are better than my quotes

Thanks,
Caz xx

Dog shipping is based on size, so a German Shepard Cross and a Border Collie cost £5200 from Manchester to Dunedin. And would definately recommend Golden Arrow.
