Hi Miley, try these guys; http://australiatrade.com.au/Shipping/Price/Exports/index.htm they drop the container at your house, you pack it, they pick it up and deliver to your door. you wouldn't have a spare 5 cubic meters in the container would you?

Guys, I have made enquiries and have been quoted around $5000 to fill a container and have it shipped to Southampton from Fremantle. Does this seem reasonable based on your experience? Then there are the delivery costs from Southampton to final destination. Also, I don't need a full container, I'm guessing I can get away with half a container but the costs seem similar but with a lot more hassle and risk to the goods. Has anyone gone down this path and if so, how much did you pay and was it worth it? Thanks

Hi Guys, I found out today that I have been made redundant. This has come at a time when I had been seriously thinking of moving back to the uk. I have been in Oz for over 8 years and have loved it but miss family, met a girl over there and still think of it as home. However, the redundancy has made it a very rushed final decision, leaving me pretty stressed with all the things I have to do. House is going on the market this week. My main question is; (and I am sure it has been asked hundreds of times here), I need to ship my stuff back. I don't really have much, a bedroom suite, lounge suite, kitchen stuff, clothes, etc. Could anyone recommend a cheap way of getting it back? A half container maybe, or maybe just sell it all? Does anyone know how long it takes to get it back? I guess my second question is has anyone regretted moving back to the uk from a long stint in Oz and if so why? Like wise, who has never looked back? I must admit, i was there for xmas and loved it but that was for a holiday. The work situation there scares me a bit... Thanks guys
