Patricia Bridgman-Elliot Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 We are looking to move from Lincolnshire to here, and wonder if it would be more economical to use a company based on Shetland Islands for either moving and/or storage. Can anyone recommend/suggest suitable firms ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longdog Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 We got the best price from Ian Reids who are based up here. They did a very good job at both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 in total agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Ian Reid or Shetland Transport are probably the best people to contact. Maybe Streamline Shipping. Unlikely to get as good a deal from a company on the mainland as they would be travelling back empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alnangler Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Moved up with Ian Reid, much cheaper than any mainland company, as they priced it as a "return load" and only for the space we used. Well packed and nothing to much trouble, supplied boxes as well. Every thing was packed into a container Shipping style so there is no need to unpack if they are going to store it as well.

saltire Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Ian Reid moved us and were 1/2 the price of the "big" removal companies on the mainland as Reids only charge a one way fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 We also used Reids to move us up here and I can't praise them too much. They were excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilackirsty Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 We used Ian Reid as well for our move up from London. Very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Bridgman-Elliot Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thank you for your helpful replies, and we will get in touch with them, as the estimates from Lincolnshire firms are horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
