Anyone know of a good moving company?

Xiney

we don't have a lot of stuff, I'd estimate between 15 and 18 boxes, and fewer than 5 largeish pieces. (Coffee table, par example)

We're moving to Galway, we can't drive, and we're poor. Got any suggestions? If not I'll just ring everyone in the Trades & Services ads...

Unfortunately I don't know any prices at all but as far as I'm aware Louis Doherty offers a service.We used him when we moved to our house about 13 years ago so I don't know if he still does it.He is in the shop beside the courthouse and opposite the Garda Station.

On another hand you could hire a van for the day,seeing as you dont have to much it could be the cheaper option.

Is it that ye don't know how to drive or just don't have a car to drive in.If ye cant drive maybe ye know someone who could do the driving for you.

we don't know how to drive but John's got a sister who does. I'd like to avoid putting her out if possible, though. If the price difference is huge, we'll certainly consider asking her to do it.

Hi Xiney

I used to work in the freight industry and I would recommend that you hire a van for the day. The amount of boxes and especially adding furniture to the lot will cost you quiet a bit. I think the cost of hiring a van is about €100 a day ( Could be wrong ) , but for this type of shipment you would have a handling cost and other charges for a door to door service..

There is a company that regularly do shipping runs from Sligo to Galway called West Coast couriers, they are based in Westport but run shipments up and down the west of Ireland ( hence the name I guess) , I can dig out their number for you , but I can't imagine that the price would be reasonable.

I think the van for the day would be your best and cheapest option.

Yeh Noel Gordon sounds like your man.

Would recommend Ciaran Walsh in Sligo if you need a large furniture lorry.

Theres also couple of guys round town that do all sorts of odd jobs (Two men and a Van/Mac G Haulage/John Branley haulage) it sounds like a job for them as well.
