[kimdownie]

Hi guys

we are just looking at shipping firms and gathering information.

Did any of you guys pack for yourselves?
did you need itinery's for every box?
if so, where did you get your itinery lay out from?

our house is on the market and we plan on moving into rented and are unsure of which way to do things so any help would be appreciated

thanks in advance
Kim

Hiya Kim.
We self shipped and used this lot http://www.4removals.com/
All I did was number every box as I packed and then listed on a sheet of paper what each box number had in it. Be as detailed as poss' with your list as this will keep the customs men happy at the other end!
Also make sure you make a couple of copies of the list and keep them with your luggage so they are to hand when your stuff arrives.

Hi Kim,
We got a few quotes and eventually picked Eagle Relocations. They packed everything for us, itemised it but we chose to unpack ourselves at this end as it worked out cheaper to do so and we didn't know where we'd be living and whether we'd want everything unpacked at once so it kept our options open. We didn't have any problems getting it all through customs, nothing appeared to be opened although one box went missing (it arrived in Oz but then went walkabouts) and we had a few breakages!

Hi

We used Allied Pickfords and they have branches in Oz too so your stuff doesn't sit with another company for a while. They packed everything up in the UK and itemised everything and gave us a copy of the items before we left, they delivered, unpacked and put into rooms over here. They were worth every penny. We only had 1 glass broken.
