Removal quote

Options
I have a few odds and ends at Kelly's storage facility in Guildford. The whole lot is worth about £150 at the most, and is mostly books and bits and bobs + things of sentimental value. This to say that there are about 8 bags in total, and they could comfortably fiit in a small van.

They quoted me £450-£550 to have those items moved from there to Glasgow, where I am moving soon.

Is this an ok quote? Does anyone know of anywhere/one who would do this for cheaper? I honestly did not expect to have to pay more than £200 - am I being naive?

Thanks

  • Thanks - I was starting to wonder whether I was being unreasonable!

    I did just that, and the quotes I got go from £369 to over £1000!!

    £369 is still quite a lot but it seems more reasonable - I paid £90 for an in-London move of about 2hrs, so this seems like a pretty good deal.

    You have to be over 25 to hire a van, none of my friends are, and I'm an expat in the UK, so no such luck as family for me here!

    If anyone wants to pm me about it, feel free!

  • Hi,
    we are moving to a house in the same area but about 10 minutes away.
    i got 3 quotes for around £200-£460.
    i know i am only moving a short distance away but i donot have any family near by and my hubby works away and i cant drive!

    i think this quote is a bit far fetched
