Man in van for France pickup.

[JMP]

My usual pickup company; Maestro Removals seem to have doubled in price, no doubt due to Covid 19..... Shiply producing no quotes so far and Anyvan quoting £443 !

Anyone got other recommendations for man in a van 'Martin style' pickup in France?

Realise may be best waiting for some form of normality to return....

Think I heard Bonnie Tyler was "Lost In France" so she might be able to help if she can find her way home?

Nowt yet this issue may make it uneconomical...…

Can they not get it onto a pallet? Can use a haulage company for a couple of hundred door to door then?

DSV- great company to deal with, got pins in from Germany, Netherlands with quick pick up and drop of (5days)

games were well wrapped - one on pallet and one off

 

[JMP]

Possibly.... that's my next option if no man in van option is viable. Will look at DSV, thanks Dave, just emailed them via website.

 

[Dave Bishop]

Real easy, just called them up- got a quote - think it was £200 ish- agreed and pick up was arranged with seller and was here in 5days..

Real good service

DSV was £160 - that was with £12K insurance (was TBL) Netherlands to UK in 5 days

 

[JMP]

Cheers guys. Seller can pallet and wrap so a good start.... £160 would be tip top, just emailed them the info.

Interesting to know about Ireland collections too, should have bid on that Atlantis on Ebay….

You did well Dave, they're quoting me £312 from central France..... nearly double. I'm querying it.

Prices have all risen due to Covid, I guess the drivers are wanting danger money

 

[JMP]

Appears so Ian, looking like a delay unless seller can sort. No rush anyway...
