Further information: Hello, I'm a Cornwall-born, Surrey-based antique and interiors transporter. I'd be happy to do this for you.

Many transporters offer delivery dates that are weeks after your belongings are collected. In between your items are often moved from depot to depot, van to van. This is where things can get damaged or lost.

My quote is for same day or next working day delivery. I'll co-ordinate the collection and pick up and provide you with a delivery window plus live ETA updates.

I do lots of work for antique dealers, fine art galleries and auction rooms so you can be confident of a hassle free, and professional transport.

Your items will be blanket wrapped and strapped for transit. I'm also fully insured up to £50K to do the task.

I hope this reassures you that I offer the best possible transport service . Any questions please ask,

Shane

Question: Hi Shane, thanks for your quote. The seller is being particularly unhelpful and has sent some 1 hour time slots for collection. Do any of these work for you?

Thursday 7th or Friday 8th December: 12-1pm; or Saturday 9th December: 9am-11am?

I don’t mind when you then bring it down to me - there’s no immediate rush for that :)

Thanks so much, Ali - (02-12-2023)

Response: Hi Ali, what a pain. I'm actually coming down on 7th but would need to pick it up earlier in the morning, or the day before (Weds). Is there any way they could be persuaded to flex a little? You'd think they'd want it gone wouldn't you. Thanks, Shane - (02-12-2023)

Question: Hello, oh that is a pain! I’ve asked them - so I’ll come back to you when they reply :)

Thanks Shane,

Question: Hi Shane, they can do earlier on the Thursday - but not Wednesday at all, so if you can let me know what time on Thursday I’ll confirm it with them :)

Thanks Shane. - (02-12-2023)

Response: Okay good. I'd say 9-11am if that worked for them? I could give them a better eta on the day. Thanks, Shane - (02-12-2023)

Question: Brilliant - I’ll let them know. I’ll also ask for a number so you can contact them on the day. How/when do you want payment please? - (02-12-2023)

Response: If you can accept the quote, the website will ask you for a deposit which they retain. The remaining balance can be sorted between us. Cash, Bacs, PayPal. Whatever works best for you. Thanks, Shane - (02-12-2023)

Question: Fab! When they come back and confirm the pick up I’ll accept the quote :)

And can do PayPal or BACS for the balance.

Thank you! - (02-12-2023)

Question: Morning Shane, we are all good for Thursday morning - thank you!!

I confirmed on the booking but the pre-filled postcode is wrong so it’s SW17 0AD. They also now tell me they’re on the first floor (might have been helpful to have said that before so apologies) but it’s a tiny sofa. I had one and I could carry it by myself. They have said they will help you though. But I’m so sorry they didn’t say this before. Their phone number is 07557913803 and mine is 07968 819967.

I’m home all day on Thursday so if you can just let me know roughly what time when you’re on the road but very easy at this end.

Thanks so much for this - really appreciate it.

Best wishes, Ali
