  • Shifting furniture from Brixton, London to Chester area.

    I’m trying to help a friend who is living abroad get some of her possessions that are currently in Brixton to long-term storage near Chester.

    There are several items, all packaged and ready to go. Total volume is easily less than a Transit. The largest and heaviest items are two Balinese day beds.

    Shipley quotes vary from £370:00 to £570:00. Both with ‘no extra fees’ whatever that means, I’ve never used Shipley before.

    I don’t have the time available to do the trip myself.

    Does anyone have any experience or suggestions?

    Cheers, Ambrose

    Try some local man & van places but that sounds OK to me given it’s a 400 mile round trip so easily a full working day of someone’s time.

    I’ve used these guys 3 times in 2 years for moves around SE London/Kent and they’ve been excellent every time – on time, polite, break nothing. Using the proverbial Romanian/Polish immigrants 🙂

    Not sure what they’d charge for long distance – depends on the size of the van they need I guess.

    I’m guessing your friend is another exile from silly London living costs?

    Ambrose, I’ve got the number of a Chester based guy who does regular trips to London and back – I’ve used him a few times and is good value especially if you can wait until his next trip to London.
    Sounds like it would be a lot less than the shiply prices.
    Email me if you want it.
