I will PM you with a name of the person in Ikea Lisbon who our clients used if that is of any help.

Just to keep this up-dated should anyone be interested in the future. Although I am not certain about privately travelling to Seville or Lisbon to collect furniture, ie hiring a van/cost of fuel or getting a third party to bring to CVO; I have a better idea now in relation to the wardrobes for the 2 bedrooms and interiors with regard to purchasing in the UK then shipping out using A Removals. The estimate is 2 cu m, ie £170 plus VAT. I would need to get it from my local IKEA to me, either with a friendly helper or privately which costs £60 on current UK prices. I could not obtain a price of the items I wanted from either Seville or Lisbon as it appears the wardrobe doors we want only come as the taller version where as we want the shorter version just over 2m's. I could get another sliding wardrobe door in the right height, but I did not like that, so no point. All in all I will check things this end to make sure all OK and get it to the property the same day we fly out and then fix with some help from family. Looking forward to the day the builders actually say we will finish in xxx weeks. :roll: :D

It actually coated £40 to deliver in the UK. Had fun (joke)checking 30 packages to actually find I had 29. Fortunately we only have a clothing rail missing so that is being posted to us. Going to ship put in a month. :| :lol:
