I am living in a 2000sq.ft house but not planning to move any furniture apart from a few chairs.
I assume a 20ft container should be enough but not sure.
Please give me a quote for both 20/40ft containers.
Packing will be done by me but loading/unloading should be included in the service. Thank you.
