sun_seeker_from_scotland Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hi, We've been trailing through threads and have only seen a few prices..... Would any1 be able to shine a more accurate price on their shipping costs (3 bed house) as we can only see different companies that people have used not what prices they have paid and if they packed themselves or not. We are currently getting quotes this week and we're just wanting to see what others have paid. Also, we can't decide whether to pack ourselves or leave it up to the company - concerned with customs! Can any1 share their experiences/give advice? We'd be very grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3maxx Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hi, We have used http://www.doreebonner.co.uk recently (2 weeks ago) and they are the cheapest of them all. Good service. The packing was done by their staff as they have to do the paperworks, Although we haven't proven the reliability yet as our things still to reach it's destination. Cost varies, get quotes to at least 3-4 shipping company. Our has been in a groupage shipping 100 cu/ft for £714.90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaynBev Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 We shipped about 1/2 a container 520cubic feet & it cost about 2700pounds with insurance being another 700. We usedC rown but had quotes from about 7 diff companies & settled not for the cheapest but the one we felt most comfortable with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coomber Family Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Hiya, we have also recently got in a few quotes, ours is for a 4 bed house plus a few extra outdoor bits and work tools, we fill a 20ft container and average quote was between £4000 and £4500 plus insurance. We have decided to go with pss out of the ones that have quoted but can't say what they are like yet. Hope that is helpful.

I'm sure there are mis-haps every now and then, but all our stuff arrived OK. Definitely get more than one quote and do beat them down.
