Questions

Question: Hi, Is the moving date confirmed or just estimated? Kind regards Mary - ukemove (14-10-2014)
Response: Hi Mary
Currently just an estimate within 1-2 weeks, Thanks James
Question: Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. Please let us know once you have a date confirmed and will go from there. Do you have much more goods then you listed? Our current quote include 2 men team to do all the lifting for you and a LWB Luton van, is that good for you. Look forward for your reply. Kind Regards Mary - ukemove (14-10-2014)

Question: Hi James, Before I place my bid can you please answer a few questions so I can provide an accurate quote with no hidden charges,
1. Can you confirm the list on here is at least 95% accurate?2. What are the moving dates ?3. Do you require storage or can it be delivered after the collection? 4. what is the postcode in both countries?5. I will place a bid for 1 man/1van will you help at both ends or do you require a porter? 6. do you require a packing/dismantling service? 7. What are the approx. sizes of the boxes and contents? 8. Can the 3 triple wardrobes be dismantled for delivery (this will save space and money) if not then can we fill them with boxes when in the van?
If you can please provide me with as much information about this move it will ensure I give you the best possible all inclusive bid.
Regards Steve

Response: Hi Steve

Thanks for your mail.
(1) My issue is I don't know how large the boxes are on the website. Broadly we don't have much stuff with clothes for 2 people, 1 set of Kitchen stuff (cutlery, plates, etc), tv, armchair, small table and 4 chairs, 1 triple IKEA wardrobe and a book shelf roughly 2.5m long.
(2) Moving around 7/8th November exact dates to be confirmed
(3) No need for storage the items can be delivered on collection - we are currently looking for a flat to move into
(4)My flat is NW3 3QX, in Madrid the new flat will be in the centre but still to be confirmed
(5) what does the porter do?
(6) This would be nice depending on costs?
(7) See description in (1)
(8) Yes they can be dismantled. To be honest I am happy not to take these if it is a big issue.

Thanks for your response - these seem like sensible quesionts to me! Let me know if I can assist further, James
Question: Hi James,
Thank you for your reply, I will answer your questions that you are unsure of,
1. Boxes are various sixes from approx. 30" x 30" x 30" then 40x40x40 then 50x50x50 if you give me an idea how many and of what size I can work on this?
2. A porter is a second person who will help load/unload but this will come at an extra charge?
3. Packing service is also an added extra, to be honest with the goods you have to move it wouldn't warrant you having this done as it is expensive but this is your choice?
4.Will you need us to dismantle the wardrobes when we arrive or will you have them ready to go? (if they are old this may become a problem due to how they are made)
Please let me have your thoughts to the above then I will quote to collect around the 7th/8th Nov and deliver ASAP in Madrid (please let me know when you have a date and postcode in Madrid)
Regards Steve - swift-move-spain (14-10-2014)
Response: Thanks Steve - sorry I thought I had responded to this.

(1) I find this really hard to estimate. We have clothes for 2 people then about an average amount of stuff for a 1 bedroom flat. As an estimate I would say it would be around 15 large boxes.
(2) No need for Porter
(3) No need for packing service
(4) Leave out the wardrobes for now

Hope this helps let me know if you have any further questions, James
Question: Hi James, not sure you received my last message?

Question: Hi James,
Not heard from you so without answering the questions I cannot give you an accurate bid (it makes me wonder how the others do) without the relevant information unless they add it on prior to delivery? let me know about the questions?
Regards Steve - swift-move-spain (15-10-2014)

Question: Hi James the biggest boxes we do are allowed to carry are 50x50x50 (8 make a cubic meter so shall we say 16 of these which makes 2 cubic meters of boxes of clothes? - swift-move-spain (15-10-2014)
Response: Yes that sounds good, James
Question: Hi James, are you still looking for quotes as I may be able to reduce my bid but only if I can tie your job in with someone else's ?
Regards Steve - swift-move-spain (16-10-2014)
Response: James, if you get back to me I can offer a better price, collection at this moment 22nd and delivery 25th/26th but cannot guarantee this if I don't hear from you shortly.

Response: Hi Steve - we are actually looking for first 2 weeks in November so not sure this would work anyway. I have been away for a couple of days and will spend some time this morning going through all of the quotes, James
Question: Hi James
I can move onto my next van so I will let you have a price for this also but do you have an exact date ?
Regards Steve - swift-move-spain (17-10-2014)
Response: Hi Steve

We would like to move around the weekend 7-9th November. We can be pretty flexible around this time though.

James
Question: OK James that's great leave it with me and I will give you my best price shortly.
Cheers Steve
