What usually changes the quote in Shawlands

In Shawlands, the number that matters most is often labour time. high-street competition near Kilmarnock Road plus tighter residential parking on the surrounding side streets and shared closes, short kerb windows and repeated carries when the van has to load from round the corner decide whether the crew can load in a steady rhythm or keep losing minutes between trips.

That is why a short urban move can sometimes cost more than a slightly longer one with easier access.
