ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus I admit that I cannot imagine it taking more than a small van to move a one bedroom flat, even with your big furniture. And you are not moving far!! Moving is so hideously expensive everywhere, they really know we are stuck, because who has the truck, or the man/woman power to really move all that stuff? Indeed...I just checked the distance (as I don't know how far it is via car) and it is just 66 miles distance and my furniture is only my fridge-freezer, double bed, massive big partners desk, one futon sofa, coffee table and sideboard and 2 shelves...plus 30-40 boxes....so not an amount where I would be happy to pay almost 1k for it Last time (over 3 years ago) I was really lucky, I moved 23 miles and all offers were around 500 pound despite that I had a fraction of the furniture I am having now (I only had my fridge freezer and 2 shelves at that time) and there was one couple of guys who offered me to do the move for 200 pound for that I gave each of them 50 pound tip as that was still way below what others would have charged me. I like to tip when it is still much cheaper than I would have paid with others
