Guest alifaz Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Has anyone experienced big differences in cubic footage from different companies? Just had three quotes and PSS come in at 100cu ft less than Crown and Anglo Pacific...!! Sent from my iPad using PomsinOz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirstyLP Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 As a guideline, in the industry it's generally accepted that there could be up to a 10% variance in volumes between different surveyors as it's a human process. A good idea to check this isn't because of an error is to ask the companies for a copy of the inventory list of items their volume is based on and check that there aren't any items or rooms missing that might have caused the variance. hope that helps?

Gareth 666 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 We had varying quotes on volume and price. Bad personal experience with PSS and their 'customer service'. They did squeeze everything in a 20ft although some stuff we had on our 'if there's room' wish list got left behind while we found stuff from the 'only take if there's room' pile when we were unpacking!! And the fact is it all got there but not in one piece in quite a few cases. This is obviously just my personal experience, take a broad view of others have good things to say. Coming back we had everyone say we were over a 20ft, even though we'd slimmed down from the stuff we took out and flat packed more. We self packed the boxes and the removal company did all the big items. We had about 2ft left at the back of the container when they'd finished and put the bulkhead in. A bit disappointing as I wanted to get a new bike in the EOFY sales but didn't dare risk it not getting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alifaz Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks for all the info guys, it has helped tremendously[emoji106] I had a 'feeling' about the PSS quote....I felt we would feel landed a big bill after collection for 'over footage'...!! Have bitten the bullet today and gone with Anglo pacific !! Fingers crossed for a smooth shipping..!!Sent from my iPad using PomsinOz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berniearry Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hi we have used Brittania whom I cannot fault. Fantastic lads pre pack & amazing loading our 20ft container for our family of 6 we still had room for more & we didn't leave much behind. We can even track where our container is This is the room we had left over. It was pouring down the two days our move was being done not one thing got wet they were fantastic.
