Edinburgh to Cambridge
Doorstep collection in Edinburgh on Thursdays, delivered to the door in Cambridge on the Tuesday run. From £149 including VAT, £50 cover per piece included.
The classic postdoc shuffle, Edinburgh researchers taking up Cambridge fellowships with whole libraries in tow.
Thursday afternoons the van gathers across Edinburgh, Polwarth, Fountainbridge, Leith and beyond. Tuesday it unloads across Cambridge, from flats near Parker's Piece to the new streets at Eddington.
A typical booking on this lane: Twenty boxes of books and files, a suitcase and a printer boxed up from a Newington flat, delivered near Midsummer Common.. The booking form counts your exact pieces and shows the total live before you pay, and the price is identical in both directions.
