How can you have luggage moved cheaply within England, if you do not care about delivery speed?
My grandmother will be travelling within England (London, Cambridge, Portsmouth) for the next year.
Her health problems prohibit moving her 3 suitcases herself WITHIN England; each weighs 25 kg and around 55 cm x 35 cm x 25 cm.
My grandmother can live off her wheeled carry-on (that she can move) for 14 days: thus delivery speed does not matter.
The 3 suitcases must be collected between 9 AM - 12 noon.
Are there cheaper solutions than expensive couriers (DHL, FedEx, Purolator, UPS), or even Royal Mail or Parcelforce (they seem to offer only delivery within 48 hours that she does NOT need)?
Best Answer
There are a number of websites (one is called uShip) that allow you to post details of a big or small removal job, and have removal companies, men with vans etc. bid for them. Because you get a large number of bids, and they are in competition with each other, you can get a very good price. Another advantage is that many will be taking a particular route anyway and are just looking to fill up spare space, so you don't need to pay for an entire van.
