“Excellent shipping for mainland UK. Ideal for...”

written by on 16/09/2013

Needed to ship all my personal belongings for University in central London. The main mover in the market for students is "Uni-Baggage" but Pharos Parcel had recently opened a shop in town where I bought my boxes so I decided to try them. I'm glad I chose Pharos over the supposed big companies in student shipping and storage.
i) PRICE was £11.75 for up to 30KG boxes, 50% cheaper than the biggest name in the industry "UniBaggage". ii)What's more is that the weight limit is flexible, increasing by 0.5KG intervals with not much price increase reflected. "UniBaggage" will simply refuse to take a box if it exceeds your estimated weight limit so the flexibility made it a more relaxed packing process.
iii) The booking procedure was specific, and allowed me to input the contents of the boxes which would appear on the labels. Again this is something the larger companies do not allow for, so using Pharos made me feel my boxes were going to be a little more taken care of. This attention to detail resonated through all aspects of Pharos' service.
iv) Insurance was flexible again, and allowed me to make my booking based exactly on what I was shipping. It wasn't over-priced. It's definitely worth taking - staff will take all the necessary steps towards investigating and making a claim.
v) Collection and Delivery was prompt, with standard delivery taking only 24 hours.
vi)After service was highly punctual and moreover, genuinely helpful. I spoke with the director of the company, who was polite, concerned and very helpful in resolving a query I had relating to my delivered goods.

In all, I am pleased to have used Pharos. My experience with the company proves that they will meet the needs of any individual needing to have items shipped. Whether a student, for business or the worried sort - the cost, speed, attention to detail and care given by Pharos make them an ideal choice.
