I don't know about others but everything with ours was all sorted through the shipping company, they sorted it all. It was a lot easier dealing with one person and only one payment.

Yeah, £4k seems to have been the ball park for quite a few years (well from what I've seen and our experience). Obviously it also depends on your final destination. Hopefully someone out there offers a nice (if there is such a thing!) figure.

Ours was for just under half the 20ft container. When you get the quotes do confirm it is in fact to Sale. We had about 7 quotes and I was amazed that after looking at them carefully they had actually put in Melbourne - despite being told our destination was nowhere near! i had a few expensive items of jewellery as well as irreplaceable items. I took it all in my hand luggage. There was no way I was risking taking it any other way.

I haven't posted on here in years, although this caught my eye as location wise we were similar. We we only shipped just under half a 20ft container from Oxfordshire (near Whitney) to a small town near Traralgon (about 45mins before Sale). It it was back in May 2012 and cost £2k (not inc insurance). That was door to door inc packing in the UK. They did say that only using a part container is the more expensive way. But as we didn't want to bring everything it worked out great for us. We used Robinsons. A family business from Oxfordshire and couldn't fault them at all. We got them down a little in price and did insurance through them which was 2%. Over this end they used Grace and couldn't fault them either. Nothing was damaged and only took 6wks door to door as they managed to get it on a ship straight away.

Hey guys, I did ours myself. Personally I couldn't justify spending so much on an agent when we'd still have to find all of the information anyway. I filled everything in and kept getting my husband sign his life away which felt like every few minutes at some points, lol Ours was a straight forward case (married (in Aus), children, together over 10yrs and so on). But I still had to answer the same questions as everyone else and at the end of the day our case took the same as everyone elses. Good luck with it all (and make sure you have spare printer ink!) AC ps. it's not actually that bad

My husbands medical results got sent to Sydney by mistake. It's no problem at all, I explained this to our CO, she looked on the system as thy a linked (or something like that) and got the details straight away. We only found out this happened after a phone call to where my husband had his examination. I was worried that this may cause a delay but it's no problem. Hope that helps. AC Forgot to say it was sent as a paper copy.

Hi everyone, I know how horrible the wait is, checking emails on a far too regular basis! So thought I'd tell you our timeline for my husbands application. Front loaded app sent 17/11/11 CO confirmation (SV) 22/11/11 Visa Subclass 100 granted today 24/04/12 A rough idea of our situation. Been together 11yrs, married 9yrs and have 2 children. Good luck to everyone. AC

You can get both police check and medical done before you send off your front loaded application. This is what we did. It doesn't make your application process any quicker, but we wanted to get it all off in one go as with my husbands job he can be away and out of the country quite a lot. AC

<p><p>My pleasure Shoes. I've quite enjoyed reading your posts. I certainly think you deserves well earned rest when you get to the UK (and a little shopping spree of course!)</p></p>
