Having moved here (Gold Coast) end of January - I can fully recommend good, reliable and reasonable removals companies. We moved from the SW of England (Somerset) and used Mark Chudley International Shippers - they were superb. Their quote came in at the same price as Brittania - but we opted for them because we didnt get the smarmy sales approach - which Brittania came across with. Mark Chudley's are a family run, but internationally renowned removalist - they particularly specialise in antiques.
The boss - Mark - came to our house - and gave us an honest quote with no "spin". He was a friendly helpful and professional guy. The packing went smoothly - the guys came in a specialist wrapped all of our furniture. The company in Oz - is Conroys of Caboolture (Brisbane). Everything arrived safely - nothing missing - and only one glass photo frame broken. Incidently we shipped a 40ft container with everything in it - including old wooden furniture. We were recommended to have the container fumigated at dock - which was very worthwhile - it only cost just over £200, and prevented any fumigation in Oz - which costs a lot more - to individually fumigate items.
We were very worried about our lifelong belongs but they couldnt have been safer.
Excellent service - Chudleys - even made contact with us out of office hours regularly to check that everything was ok. Cant recommend them highly enough.
I think they serve the whole of the South Coast of England - but they may go further.
