M4 South Wales run · Fridays
Wales Shuttle collects boxes, bags and small moves from Port Talbot every Friday and delivers to London Wednesday, 5 days later. Kerbside collection of up to 4 pieces costs £199 including VAT and £50 cover per piece, the same price in both directions. Book online in 2 minutes.
Port Talbot is home to the largest steelworks in the United Kingdom and to the sands of Aberafan Beach on Swansea Bay. Margam Country Park lies just east of the town.
Actors Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins are among the town's former residents.
NPTC Group of Colleges (campus at Margam) makes Port Talbot a regular student lane for us: boxed-up rooms out at the end of term, and the same in reverse come September.
The van works the M4 corridor from Carmarthen to Newport every Friday, collecting and delivering door to door. Your things ride to our Oxfordshire hub, then out on the destination's own weekly run. Every piece carries £50 of cover, and the price is the same in both directions.
