We are hoping to move in a few weeks and have just had GB Liners round to give us an estimate. We want the full service - packing etc. - as we are not feeling up to all the general hassle involved.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will come in at something like a reasonable price.

It is 3-bed house (with music room) to 4-bed bungalow about 20 minutes away. Does anyone have recent experience of this? Was the packing service good? Was it worth the money?

My D and SiL used Pickford's and had a full packing service and storage. I supervised it as they were away but can say it was quick and efficient. His firm were paying all expenses but certainly would have gone for a reasonable quote.
Good luck, it is one more stressful thing to get through.

DD has moved a couple of times recently, 4 bed houses, about 5 miles, and a local firm charged £700. They provided boxes but this didn't include packing. They were fantastic taking beds and large furniture apart and re-assembling them etc. Clothing could stay in drawers and wardrobes. I find using local family-run businesses is much better as they have a reputation to keep.
This has all happened quickly, I am so pleased that everything fell into place for you. Have a trouble-free move! flowers

Pickfords will be the most expensive I bet and the local firms the cheapest. Not that you should automatically go for the cheapest. Do they have web sites with feed back from customers on? I put some feedback (very positive) on my small local removal firm's website as they were so good and reasonably priced.
