ljruss2013 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 This looks really good we are planning on having a large move cube for us moving good to see what sort of stuff you can get in it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen44 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I plan to use a large move cube too, can u tell me how much notice u had to give & what did it cost? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsan Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hi Jen I ordered mine about a month ago in order to secure the day we wanted. I got the impression, that if you are flexible you can get one in a matter of days. It all depends on demand. It arrived 8am friday morning, and collected about 2:30. Cost was £890 from Rugby UK, to Melbourne door to door. Plus $308 local fees payable on arrival. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevsan Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 nope - thats all in. £890 for a large one. Paid 200 deposit, awaiting final invoice of £690 once all the docs have been reviewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevsan Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 @kevsan I think you need a new job as a removalist your packing skills are awesome I think you're right!!! For anyone else booking a movecube, i took other peoples advice on here of marking out and stacking everything into the space so we could work out what space we had and used the month in between booking and D-day to add and adjust. It also helped being a little conservative on the measurements. On the day, it just meant starting at one end and replicating the pile in the cube. And despite the concerns about having 3 hours to pack, in reality it took me 2 hours on my own (with a neighbour to help me leverage the fridge freezer in) including 3 tea stops... and in fact we were given an 8am til 3pm window...whether this helped being a friday or not, i dont know.

kevsan Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Of course, we'll review in 79 and a bit days and see what state we get it back in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen44 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Would be good to see pics from other end, if there was any delays/complications. How long it took & if everything was in good condition once u unpack..... See some pics on here where people have had problems with mould but not sure if that was in move cube?!! Best of luck with yr move, hope all goes smoothly (sorry I do like to know the ins & outs of everything!!! Lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsan Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Of course, we'll review in 79 and a bit days and see what state we get it back in! Well turns out it wasnt 79 days plus 7-14 in customs. 68 days after it left, it arrived this morning. (actually cleared customs on the 15th, this was the first day i could work from home to unload) couple of bits moved about so customs had a look, but according to the sevenseas tracker entered and cleared customs the same day, and so far only breakage is a Christmas bauble that fell out of the box as the front of the cube came off. Excellent job, cant fault them. Just need a bigger house for all the crap. fridge in one piece, no mould TV is still there, phew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen44 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Looks good, did u have to go to depot & unpack it or get a company to bring it to yr door? Was there any mould on anything? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bqjt Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Our move cube took just under 75 days door to door including a week after collection in UK and 2 weeks after arrival in Melbourne. Everything arrived in exactly same condition as it was sent. Very impressed with Sevenseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi Jen, I think they do a door to door service within a distance range. I did not have to go anywhere, the cube was brought to my door in Melbourne and opened in front of me. Best to give them a call and find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsan Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Looks good, did u have to go to depot & unpack it or get a company to bring it to yr door? Was there any mould on anything? Thanks Ours was door to door with Sevenseas, left in a branded trailer, arrived in a branded truck - but we are in metropolitan Melbourne, so might change if you have additional requirements. No mould in sight. - Fridge looked like it took a bit of a kicking, some scratches and a dent at the back, so would appear stuff shifted about a bit in transit... but unloaded it, left it to stand, changed the plug, turned it on, filled it with beer. the beer is cold, so good enough.

StephanieDavey Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Love the information and photos! Mum is moving here and is looking to bring her expensive three piece Laura Ashley suite. Do you think a three piece suite will fit in the large cube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsan Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 depends on the size, but should do. We were surprised how much fitted in, and on the collection day were running around to throw additional stuff in because we had so much room. Best advice is to measure out on a spare piece of floor and pile it up. You'll soon get an idea of what you'll get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nollie Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Fantastic pics we are trying to decide move cube or share container...... I think this thread has swung the decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imapla Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hi Jen, I think they do a door to door service within a distance range. I did not have to go anywhere, the cube was brought to my door in Melbourne and opened in front of me. Best to give them a call and find out. Hi thanks for this it is really useful. I was under the impression that you couldn't use UK fridge or TV in Aus and vice versa - I don't know why I thought that but evidently it is not the case ?
