Load PricingHow Do We Compare?
Our
customers tell us we charge a fraction of the 'full service' removal
firms, and find that the savings obtained by packing themselves and
using us are well worth the effort. Ask us for a price and see for
yourself why so many of our customers were surprised at what we
quoted (and keep finding more things for us to ship one way or the
other!)
As a rough
cost guide for removals:
- Full load between Midlands and Midi-Pyrenees (enough for a
typical 4 bed house and a bit more) would be around GBP2400+VAT
- The equivalent of a "van" load between Midlands and Midi-Pyrenees
(enough for a small 1 bed flat) would be around GBP750 - 1000+VAT
These prices are purely indicative so you can see the
difference between a big name full service mover (e.g. Pickfords)
and ourselves. The actual prices charged may vary with:
- Exact locations / distances
- Whether we are already, or are likely to
be, in those areas at those times
- How easy the goods will be to load and unload (how long it will take), e.g. cars and pallets will cost less
than removals

How Much Space Can I
Have?
Loads are priced per linear metre, with
a minimum from 2 metres. This minimum may be greater depending on
pickup and delivery locations.
The maximum
single load size (a full load) is 13.6 linear metres (approx 45
feet) or 24 tons.
In particular areas at particular times,
there is almost no minimum load size if we don't have to take a
detour to get to
you (i.e. you are on our route, near another customer or come to meet
us.)
How Much Space Do I Need?
A linear metre (3 feet 3 inches) is 2.4m (8 feet) wide and
2.6m (8 feet 6 inches) tall, but please bear in mind how well your
goods will stack and pack together. Stacking capability is generally
based on regularity of shape and size, and the strength of the boxes
or furniture items.
The best way to visualise the
space you will need is to imagine a room 8 feet wide with a typical
ceiling height, and to mentally stack your goods within that.
Please note that Hazardous goods (e.g. gas bottles) may
not be transported.
Full Loads
Timing of full loads is as required, subject to
availability.
Part Loads
A part
load means less than the full vehicle capacity, and will generally
mean that other items will be scheduled onto the same trip.
Larger loads will tend to "call the tune" regarding
timing, but smaller loads can be fitted in with these if the
location and dates suit.
In some cases (e.g. remote
pickup or delivery point) for small quantities it may be more
economical for you to arrange delivery or pickup to or from a more
central location. Alternatively, it may be possible for us to
arrange for a smaller vehicle to collect the goods at
cost.
Payment
Payment to be made in full in Pounds
Sterling on delivery, plus VAT unless you have a valid French VAT
(TVA) number. We can take Euros by prior arrangement, but note that we
will have to apply an exchange rate that covers our costs and
admin of handling this.
Fuel Surcharge
Occasionally, due to exceptionally high fuel prices, we
may have to levy a small fuel surcharge. We will notify you if this
is the case
