Hi everyone
We would like your advice on removal firms
We have noticed a couple of names on here like .. CROWN..
We are only taking small items such as personal things... not big furniture and we would like to be pointed in the right direction who to look at....
All ideas welcome thanks

We are looking into Pickfords- not the cheapest but they came round personally and went through it all in detail with no hidden extra costs, putting our mind at rest. we are only taking personals- no furniture.

Thanks for your reply's.. my OH has had a quote from Pickfords.. yes they are quite expensive but like you said they are very good.
It's where to begin on what to pack and what to sell
Thanks again and we are still looking...

Thanks Jo that sounds ideal for us... i'm just putting things on Ebay to sell ... isn't it hard to part with things.... it's like parting with pieces of your life... ha ha i'm sooo sentimental with things it drives my oh crazy

We used John Masons - our container should arrive next week.

We had 86 items on our inventory, mostly boxes with just a few pieces of furniture (personal, custom made stuff and my piano). We haven't got a full container either and could have just bought the boxes if we'd wanted. There isn't anything in a contract to say you have to bring furniture.
