Removal Quote - is this reasonable?

Hello

I've had a quote for removals, its a 3 bed house, so normal stuff like sofa and armchair, table and chairs, 2x double beds, bedside tables, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bookshelves + garden equipment etc etc
I pack everything myself

Quote is £360 so everything will be moved from house and then transported to storage in the same town less than 4 miles round trip.

Does this sound ok?
Thanks

    Sounds like a bargain.

    Last year I moved a 2 bed house myself - hired a transit van and got two friends to help. Never again! Next time I'm definitely paying professionals to do it.
