Hi can anybody out there tell me the average cost I can expect to pay for a container, and who you would recommend.

Thanks

Pickfords quoted me £4,300 for 20 foot container and £5,800 for a 40 foot.

I am waiting for a price off Anglo Pacific.

Bloody expensive basically

Thanks for the information Boomer, I guess SCoop has the right idea, abandon all goods and start a fresh.

We have since had a quote from Anglo Pacfic and they quote 2700.00 for a shared 20ft container if that helps any of you out there, I also find Excess Baggage quite helpful, quoting 2500.00 for shared.

Take care Ozzie fans, think I am going mad with the worry of having all sorted by June 19th but sure I will be back on track when we get there.

Bye

Hiya Missiemo
We are on the east side about 30mins by train outside the city. Been here 5 months now and settling well.

We had few problems with Anglo Pathetic - sent the wrong container, overquoted for the amount of boxes we needed and would not give us a refund. Then at this end, communication was terrible - no info unless YOU phone them and even then the receptionist with her "go away I cant be bothered with you " attitude really got up my nose. The only good thing I have to say about them is the packers and unpackers were excellent - very efficient but thats all I can say good about them. The only quick and efficient thing the company does is take your money - oh no delay in that !!!!!

Not long now till you fly. If there is anything else i can help you with, let me know - feel free to PM me if you wish
Take care
Loz
