As title, recommendations please for pro’ business to collect my recent purchase from London and deliver to me in Bury st Edmunds.
I have logged on into ‘Shipley’ by received only one quote, now ‘Shipley’ suggest that I pay to receive more quotes. Only a few quid but I object as they already charge the commission to the guys that register to work via the .

Shipley walked away with goods I wanted shipped and I was given the deaf ear for compensation. I would never use them. Why not just ring a local (to you) car specialist who, if he doesn't do it himself will have knowledge of someone. Or, if you want a personal recommendation, I trust this guy with my soul:-

I used Colchester classic motor services earlier this year to move a car from Wisbeach to Colchester during lockdown and was very happy with their service and level of communication.

Thanks for replies, I am contacting local recommendations having asked the same question in the East Anglian forum.
The car is a 1933 Austin ‘Carlton’ limousine.
