Pommie Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi everyone Does anyone have any idea of the cost of shipping household goods from the UK to Perth in a 40ft container, including the packing up and uploading in Perth ?? Also, can you give me a breakdown of the costs (i.e. shipping, insurance, etc)... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srg73 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Are you sure you need 40ft? Have a look through the site and you will pick up on other companies people have used, give them a call, quote and consider. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi @Pommie get 4 or 5 companies in to quote. Pss and Masons get good feedback. For insurance don't use the removals own, it is too expensive. Have a look at @Letton Percival.

samjwilli Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 We have booked a 20ft to move a 3 bed, 3 storey house from the UK to Perth. It's costing £3378 + insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Pickfords provide any of the documentation support for the car or did that go via Iron Chef? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've made the trip before (my company paid), so I do think its a 40ft container required..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirstyLP Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hi everyone Does anyone have any idea of the cost of shipping household goods from the UK to Perth in a 40ft container, including the packing up and uploading in Perth ?? Also, can you give me a breakdown of the costs (i.e. shipping, insurance, etc)... thanks Costs will be made up of three main stages: 1) Packing and collection - volume of goods, any special items that require extra packing or crating or special handling, access to your origin property (all of which determine the cost of labour, equipment and materials) 2) Transport - from your house to the port, shipment by sea, and delivery to your new home. Costs can vary slightly depending on the sailing time of the vessel 3) Unloading/unpacking - again based on volume of goods, special handling, disposal of materials and access to destination. There may also be elements included for the dates of your move - for example are you moving at a really busy time of year when prices are a bit higher, are there any periods of storage required (e.g. if you're staying in a temp rental before you can take delivery). Insurance will usually be quoted as a separate charge and often is a % of the value of goods you are moving. There will also be the costs of Biosecurity inspection which is usually payable locally as the cost can vary and so most removal companies exclude this from their quote. Hope that helps?
