marta Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 About to use PSS in May. We had to decide between PSS and Robinsons (prices similar but service slightly different) and chose PSS. Let's see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foy465 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Crown - yes would use again We had a 20ft sole use container and the cost was £4100 (hubby's company paid) Preston - Brisbane (8 weeks door to door) Our container arrived in Brisbane port on the Thurs, arrived in Crown's warehouse on the Monday, cleared customs on the Thurs and was delivered on the Saturday (very quick!)

Guest stockies Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Crown Relocations for us........... Excellent on our first lot of stuff out, in the UK and here in Brisbane. Then we had another house to clear and ship over here due to a death in the family, they made a few mistakes due to lack of comunication but it was all sorted out very quickly and they were very appologetic if I remember rightly ....... Would I use them again.....Yes !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal2 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 wish something could be done like this, for rentals, ie vote for agents / landlords / properties that are good and have treated the renters fairly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Beth101 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Anglo Pacific - was around £5000 including insurance. Wouldn't necessarily use them again, although our belongings did arrive in Australia (eventually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FatCats Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 We used Simpsons. The price was mostly on par with others for a 20ft. The packing service was very good, can't fault the lads. Only problem, they didn't pay the agents this end so even though we paid our bill 2 months previosly, when it came to delivering our container we had to wait a further 10 days while they sorted out their admin.... Hopefully we are just unlucky but it kind of spoiled the good work they had done packing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
