I don't do the admin but the haulage costs sound a bit steep, is that for an OASIS cabin (i.e. needs delivery on a low-loader) rather than a Groundhog (towed by Land Rover)? Groundhog should be somewhere around the ?85 each way?
To be honest, whenever I have had a Groundhog or OASIS cabin on site, it has nearly always been delivered at the specified time, give or take an hour or two, otherwise we don't use that company again. This has been from many different hire companies, across the UK, and I do a lot of three day evaluations!
Pick-up of cabins is again usually when we want it, but is usually more variable as to exact time. Often due to over-worked delivery drivers. Rather annoying though when they don't bother phoning to give an ETA. Toilet pickup is more of an issue as companies usually have daily circuits for pick-up and servicing and will often only pick-up on set days. So we often have to leave the loo on site, which isn't usually a problem with the landowner. And if you hire a groundhog/oasis the toilet is inside the cabin so its not an issue.
Top tip -if you do have a portaloo on site, always use a padlock to stop it getting 'decorated' over the weekend...
