Five Oceans

Hi, I am planning to move to Melbourne in July. I have got quotation from PSS and Pickfords. I am just wondering which company to use as quotations are very similar. Has anyone got experience with PSS or Pickfords? Any recommendations?? Thanks

Hi Ruchwi16,

Both companies you have mention are extremely good companies and I would personal go with your gut feeling as to who ever you feel the most comfortable with and gave you the most information regarding your move.

P.S - Keep in mind that for every bad story you hear about a company there are normal 100's of good one's but only the bad one's get highlighted.

All the best with your move

Hi,

 

I am new to the forum and we are moving to Adelaide in June/July. I have already done the following: rabies/titers/RNATT and import permit to Australia and was just wondering if I really need to pay all the extra money for a pet shipping company. We have two medium sized dogs we will be bringing with us.

 

I am a veterinarian with a pretty good handle on importation requirements but would love anyone's experiences good/bad with doing it themselves. Don't mind paying the money if it is really necessary - they are our fur babies after all!

Hi EllyPage,

Most pet transport companies will have huge buying power with the airlines as they are using them on a daily basis therefore the price you will pay them is not inflated and is normally cheaper than what you can get with the same airline directly. Their knowledge with the local authorities is extremely helpful to ensure a swift process for your pet.

As a returning citizen of GB, As long as you can prove you exported the goods to Australia (ie paperwork from your original move) you will be fine.

I work in the industry in the U.K

All the best
