Have been quoted £5000 by Santa Fe, £4850 by another company , waiting for Asian Tigers to come back with a quote. Imoves are looking good at the moment.

Your service sounds cheap was that for a 20' container and if so who are the shippers. will give them a call for a quote.

If it were me, I would come clean and tell Sante Fe that you have a quote from Imoves @ £££. Then ask why they are so much cheaper. These guys know their competitors and can probably give you the reasons. Maybe even offer a discount.

My company have always paid for my moves and have always simply told me which company to use and it's always been one of the two I recommended

We have over 1,000 employed in the region and the constant inter-country movement of staff is hard to keep up with.

My employer is quite cost conscious
So there must be a reason they always select from these two.

20' Container £1538.20, I just paid the shipping invoice. If I recall, 40' quoted at around £1750 [will fluctuate due to currency] Bear in mind though, that you arrange the loading and unloading.

It is a very good price.

I sadly don't remember the prices my company paid but the price did include full packing - wrapping etc and delivery, unpacking and inspection process on arrival at new homes.
