Misty,
Not all removals companies are the same, nor are all loads. I have at least two options for small loads to the Continent.
You can see one of them in the Discount Space listings in my Ebay shop, C-Squared Trucking UK, at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/c-squaredtrucking-UK where the cost for 5m3 is just £375 - a saving on the £750 minimum cost of door-to-door service of 50%!
Or, simply please call me, Simon Marshall, to discuss on 07940 023878/01702 334046.

I've read with amazement the very long correspondence in this thread. I see that Laury's stated problem is about visualising what a cubic metre is. But underlying this, by inference, is the worry that costs are going to go through the roof. What Laury and others on this thread need to understand is that not all removals companies are the same and not all loads are treated in the same way. It's vital FIRST to get to understand HOW your goods are going to be transported so that you pick your carrier. THEN you can pick the appropriate rate per metre cube. I know getting this far isn't always easy as lots of companies aren't transparent about these issues but , for example, I always offer clients with small loads the option to deliver to, and collect from, my lorry. You can see how this works in Discount Space listings in my Ebay shop, C-Squared Trucking UK, at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/c-squaredtrucking-UK where the cost for 5m3 is just £375 - a saving on the £750 minimum cost of door-to-door service of 50%!

DO…
● Help with packing, loading and unloading of the truck because most firms charge the earth for a full service and you should try to keep an eye on your goods as much as possible, anyway.
DON’T…
● Ever, ever, ask for a full wrapping and packing service! If the removal company insists on this, it’s often because they are planning to re-load your goods several times en route (see next section), but it will always, always, either add a large amount to your quote or you will find it to be an empty promise when they actually arrive at your house. Pack and wrap small fragile items, and bigger ones only as you see how they fit into spaces on the lorry.
