Hi all, we are a family if 31/32 with two children; daughter 13 and son 5.

Looking to meet with families similar to us?

We've been in Sydney for two months now. Living in Quakers Hill.

Give us a shout if you fancy meeting up.

Cheers

Tyrone & Catherine.

We're in Blacktown, Quakers Hill. Been here two months now. Loving it!

Poco is brilliant. We have one here in Blacktown. Worth a look. Prices seem better then ikea.

Hi Dek, how did you get on with the visa?

Hi, we have just done the move. From London to blacktown, Sydney. It's hard and stressful. But worth it. If you need somewhere to stay when you arrive I can give you the details of a place we used 5mins from the airport. Has everything you need to start, and it's cheap. Ideally located.

We're a family if 4 with two children, 13 & 5.

Any questions, give us a shout.

All the best.

Hi all, any help with what I need to do about my Uk private pension when I move to Sydney?

Anyone know if the UK fork lift licence is valid in Australia?

Settled with John Masons at £2900 excl AQIS AND INS.

Booked for 7th oct.

We have Crown coming next monday (1st july) and so far they have been very professional and prompt to answer anything i've needed.

 

I got 3 quotes (PSS, Pickfords and Crown) and although at the time they didnt seem the cheapest the others didnt includes the AQIS fees which crown do so in the end they were the best all round quote.

 

During the whole quote and survey process they seemed more and genuinely interested in our move and provide nice little extras such as car shaped boxes for our 2 boys so they can pack their own 'special' toys and its goes on the container last so when it arrives at the new house in OZ its first off, keeping them amused whilst the unloading happens and it also makes then feel part of time move. They also provide a very useful welcome pack and in there are childs books on moving to australia and whats happening in story forms.....these extras were the deal clinchers for us.

 

I will update once my furniture has arrived early september.

Good luck with the move Dan!

I am leaning towards John Mason based on the service I have received from them so far.

621cuft for £3000 inc crating 3 tvs, a painting and an electric fire. + ins + AQIS.

Want to see if I can get the price down a little. Has anyone recently finalised a quote on this cube going to Sydney? I don't know how much I should hold out for?

Cheers

Tyrone

PSS have quoted us the lowest on 700cbft.

John mason second

Anglo third.

They came in at £3200-£3500 plus insurance

How's its going over there?

I work for Davies turner air cargo, who also do relocation shipping(excess baggage). They use PSS, John Mason, Crown, Anglo Pacific etc for sea freight consignments and they have recommended all to me above to me.

I has PSS out today who seemed good and answered all my questions. John mason are due next monday then Anglo Pacific the following.

I guess the deciding factor will be the quotes they provide me with, what the quote includes and how comfortable i feel using that company.

I was advised to arrange the crating of my Plasma tv myself as they said I would get it done cheaper as I am in the air freight/shipping industry. Which I did and half the PSS estimated price.

From what I have researched their service is about the same.

P.s.If anyone has any excess baggage or general items that they would like air freighted to Australia to arrive before their container, please feel free to contact me and I can arrange a quote from my employer.

Good luck. I'll be out in October. Can't wait! Had removers here quoting today.

Enjoy your BBQ!

Hi, I'm shipping our fridge freezer and smaller freezer. I've been told to ensure that they don't have fcc. What that? How do I find this out?

Cheers

Ty

Hi, I've has PSS round this morning for a quote.

He mentioned something about the freezer that I wish to take. I can remember what he said about it. I think it was to ensure it does not have fcc. What it that and how do I find out?

Any help?

Thanks

Tyrone and Catherine

Rental for our arrival has now been booked.

I had a friend post for me in the end..

Proxy didn't wrk

The visa bureau were very good for us.

Yeah, we are taking other things, but I just wondered as they will be the 2 larger items we will be taking. Looking online the prices aren't that different. I'll have to see the difference in the shipping quotes with and without.

Thanks.
