Has anyone had the removal companies in for quotes recently? What sort of price are you getting for sole use of a 20 foot container?
We've had 3 quotes and they were all much higher than the £3k I was expecting to see.
The assessors varied by how much space they thought we'd need - between one and one-and-a-half 20ft containers.
The quotes so far (for Swindon to Picton) are
Crown - £4768 for 1 container (the gent doing the estimating used to be a packer and thought we could fit everything in one container - albeit packed all the way to the back doors).
GB Liners - £4299 for one 'and a bit' containers. The written quote is for everything the assessor saw, but doesn't specify anything about how the 'bit' will go.
John Mason - £3770 for 1 20ft container and an additional £1995 for the partial container.
Time for a clearout - but even with just one container, the quotes are higher than I was expecting.
