      Hi We will be using ROY TREVOR REMOVALS based in WARRINGTON ( 01925 630441)
      Well established family run company which have been highly recommended to us for being very reasonable and being so professional (our friends used them last year to ship their stuff out to Perth)

      Good luck best bet ring 2 or 3 and get a few quotes!

      Hi Again just sent you details for Roy Trevor Removals!Noticed you also have 4 young kids!Where abouts in Liverpool are you from and when do you hope to arrive in Adelaide and have you an area you plan to settle in yet?
      Have you been out on a reccie or just taking the plunge and going for it?
      We went out last june for a few weeks.

      Hope you have luck sorting removals out!!!!

      [hello guys just to let you know we phoned up a company in huyton liverpool and what they do is drop a 20ft container on the wagon outside your house, then you have 3 hours to load the thing up cram all your lifes worth in
      then they take it away and thats that and that costs £2000!!!!
      afew other charges like fumagation and $30 charge for something when it lands in adelaide.
      this sounds just to good to be true to me anyone done this before

      am still gonna shop around i think

      Hi,

      3 hours is not a lot of time to load a 20ft container, although I would imagine there are a few scousers who could empty one in about 3 minutes, I read somewhere a while ago that if you pack a container yourself it may be harder to get insurance due to the fact it is not "professionally" packed, something to check out going down this route,

      Good luck

      will get family and mates to help if we do it this way.
      you have got to be wrapped and packed for when they arrive.
      we have still got lots more to phone and get quotes off.
