Anyone else had this problem? She suggested moving up to a 40ft container but I think we will have to pay the extra ourselves (not more cost!!!)

My little boy Dylan was getting quite concerned that all his toys would be going, bless!

Byee for now

When we got quotes from various companies, they all quoted for a 20ft container.

On the 2nd day that they were packing us up it became obvious that we were not going to get everything in a 20ft.
Luckily our furniture was going into storage for a month otherwise the container would have arrived at our house and it wouldnt have all gone in. Anyway we had the option of putting the bits that didnt fit in the 20ft either into groupage (which is where you share part of a container) however this does take longer, or go for a 40ft container.
We decided to keep everything together and went for the 40ft which only worked out 75.00 pounds more than what it would have cost us to send the rest by groupage!!

Hope this helps.
