|  |       I would steer well clear of DIY removals,if you have any amount
    of furniture.I did just that on my last move;I ended up spending
    out only 40.00 pounds less than the removal company,& I was
    thouroughly exhausted by the end of the day,which lasted 13 hours.
            
    PS:leave it to the experts

|  |     If you are planning to DIY, plan to have a few "men" (this isn't
    supposed to be sexist, I really mean men) to help out. I did it
    once with three friends and we were all kn***ed at the end of the
    day.
    
    Last time I moved, I used CANTAY (I believe DEC use them too sometimes)
    and they were very good.

    If you DIY , bare in mind that your property is not insured while
    you move , so if you drop the telly or the bone china dinner service
    then tough titty .

    I have just moved house and I used ECONOMOVE, they are based in
    Basingstoke and are a family buisness. They were very good and cheap.
    
    Cant remember their number, bit I got it from the yellow pages.

| 31.5 | Doesn't hurt to try ... | LOOKIN::BELL | You expected it to work ??!! | Fri Sep 23 1988 14:32 | 5 | 
|  |     I moved down here March '87 and found Pickfords were excellent. They
    were one of the dearer firms (not to me, I was relocating :-) but
    the quality of service was excellent. Worth a phone call at least.

|  |     I agree with -1. about Pickfords. Expensive but V. Good and they
    were able to do it when other smaller companies were booked up.
