I did rather simplify the whole machine moving bit,the moving across the channel bit with 10 listed large items was £ 747,funny that.when the machine mover came U.K. Side there was spare space on the lorry.Phoning the ferry company to enquire how much for extra items,no charge.Sometime later the ferry company went bust however.
On GSY side I arranged a man with a hiab at 8 am Saturday and loaded 1/2 (smaller lorry) took to new home,driver wife and me rolled that on scaffolding poles into new workshop.He went off to lift a boat or something and came back with second half of machinery and by 3-30 done.
Driver went off happy with 200 duty free cigarettes as he'd smoked many of his own during the move,plus of course his boss's fee.
Ten years on I wouldn't fancy doing the reverse procedure.
