removals
 
Please does anyone have personal experience of removal companies in or very near to Javea please. We are leaving at the end of October and need arrangements in place fairly soon to take some household possessions back to the UK.

thanks

We used this company based in Villalonga near Gandia. That's about 50km away from you, don't know if that's too far for you. They charged £250 per cubic metre. Service was great, they picked up from the UK and stored the stuff in Villalonga till our house was ready to accept delivery two months later.

Good grief-what do they use gold plated packing boxes.I've seen quotes of80-100e psm as average. How do they justify a price like that?

You have read my mind and exactly so. I have quotes from France to Spain only in April of this year. We are nowhere near 250 euros.

Me thinks there is a typo?

Don't make the mistake of comparing the one man band with a top notch removals company. They are not the same, and don't offer the same level of service ;):) I'm not saying it is a worse service, just that it's not at the same level.

Ooops. Sorry. It was £250 for 3 cubic meters. Apologies, the cooking sherry seems very strong this week.

Your attitude exactly shows why a multi returning removals man in a van who wants to spam the boards, resort to abuse, and pretend to be a satisfied customer is probably not a reliable man to use to trust your valuable with! :D

Children from time to time this forum descends into the gutter. Surely we can treat each other with respect. I might be silly but I had thought that the process here was to provide help and assistance to those who needed it.

Then it was to the recipient to decide what was best for him or her?

Seeing the most recent exchanges there is obviously a hidden agenda.

Thanks I will now do my own thing for I would not wish to fall out with anyone.

I'm sure you misunderstand :)
The poster is someone who is a haulier who has tried to misrepresent himself, and I have just bought it to your attention, as is my "job" :D

Do not take offence, Mitzy will always try to make sure that the forum is not abused by unsuitable posters and will try to protect us from people who may use the forum for their own agenda such as trying to push their company in an unsatisfactory and unfair manner.

Agree, and I'm sure Mitzy is privy to information that we are not, not a job I'd volunteer for! As a long time user of many different forums, I think it's normally clear that first time posters that join to recommend a company are generally doing it for personal reasons. There are loads trying it on, "I've just had a fabulous meal in a new restaurant that has opened up...."

Re: removals
 
Therefore who do I now trust!

We had a not brilliant exposure on the way down do not wish to repeat the exercise.

But it is so important for us and whilst £ is important the trusting of our family belongings acquired over the years is more important.

Once we relied upon a web site with an array of vehicles in their livery thought that is what we would be getting.

Wrong a 38 tonne arrived with someone else's livery. We did not in our contractual discussions give approval for someone else to take our goods.

So for this I am now really worried.

There are long serving members here that have recommended various companies, look at their number of post, I'm sure you can rely on them. Just beware of someone that has just joined and recommends a company/bar/restaurant with their first post. Might be genuine, but might well not.

Re: removals
 
My own levels of trust are sadly diminishing in almost every field where I need to trust others.

i would suggest getting three quotes from the biggest and most established removal people advertising in the Costa Blanca News.

Then having at least seen some of them face to face and after reading their various guarantees and testimonials, you can make your own mind up.

I can't recommend one because I haven't moved for quite some time.

what a sound idea

Re: removals
 
As per my pm, contact Steve or Ann at way2go and ask them for a price for 2 drivers to load / offload and transport. They have a 7.5 tonner. Ask them for the dimensions, and then you can work out if this will suffice.
