Janeandalan Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 We are arranging to move a part load of furniture down to the Herault Region in SE France. Prices have varied by about £600. Has any one any recommendations or more importantly ones to avoid? When I did a search for removals I noticed someone had recommended Burke Bros which has given us the most expensive quote so far - do you get what you pay for ? Many thanks for any advice.

suein56 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hi Jane and Alan**do you get what you pay for ?**I don't know the answer to that, but I have come to believe that, sometimes, the firms asked to quote just cannot be bothered with a 'part load' (even though they feature them in their advertising blurb) so they quote a silly price.We had 3 quotes - for 32 assorted boxes, washing machine, coffee table, sofas, chairs etc about 250 cu ft (I think) - they ranged from £1500 + VAT, £995 + VAT and £595 including VAT and insurance. After doing some research we settled on the cheapest and they were excellent - totally professional, efficient, friendly, responsive to emails etc. So .....it's anyone's guess.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
