You could ask for a delivery price, he's dropped off in London before, Failing that mate ask Royal mail or DHL or something, His name is Mick and his number is 07707124047, Tell him Ryan from Rotherham has given u the number, He speaks very broad mansfield accent so just bare with him!!! |

I heard of a delivery service that specialises in aquatic deliveries:
http://www.aquavan.co.uk/
I've not used them personally, just seen them advertised, but you can get a free quote.
Good luck & we'd like some pics when you get it all sorted |

Kobi, Did you ring Mick for a price?
I think you'll find his prices are a hell of a lot cheaper the N & D, and his work isn't rushed, He's a proper old fashioned cabinet maker, He doesn't believe in screws, nails or glue, Everything will be dovetale jointed, really good craftsman, You'll struggle to find better, He's just made my daughter to be a complete bedroom set of furniture, Would have cost me £500 in any other shop, he charged me £120!!! |

to aquavan then. Sorry for the poor advice.
I know fuel prices have gone up but £350 that's daylight robbery
I could buy a van off ebay for that much and deliver it myself and still have change.... |

just to clarify, the price was quoted for same day and the quote was based on a single delivery, the job would have taken best part of a full day. the tanks that i move are large tanks. people can make there own choice as to who to use.
further to this, aquavan is fully insured and a professional outfit. i dont think there are any other companies that deliver tanks that are fully insured and deliver same day.
