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.
Cheers Guys, much appreciated.
