Shipping small quantities to Oz

[shellybm]

Has anyone got any experience/advice on shipping small quantities to Australia. We are moving at the end of November but are not taking any furniture with us - just books, cds, photos, clothes, toys and a few small household items.

Any responses greatly appreciated.

HI there,

I have just shipped what I think you will be shipping!!

Went with crown relocation....cost about £550...and equivalent of 5 washing machine size boxes...which is how they described it to me....sure there was more than that though!!

We've just sent six tea chests with Freedom Shipping because we're only here for two years. If you have four boxes, the fifth is free and then they're £30 each after that. Found their delivery and pickup reliable (at your end - won't recieve until mid December) but geography awful! Seemed to think Epsom in Surrey was in the Midlands! they won't let the boxes leave the country until they have a copy of your visa. Our total bill was £150 ish.
Where in Oz are you headed? If you need an address in Sydney to get them delivered to, please feel free to contact me directly. Niccars@gmail.com
All the best.
