Eek I was expecting under £4k rather than closer to £5k. Speaking to movers at Expos I suspect that they are giving the lowest possible quote. Have just done an online quote for PSS (after being panicked by this thread ;-) ) and it is coming out at £2,300 - £2,800 for a 20ft door to door UK to Brisbane + insurance on top. Will feel disappointed if it comes out substantially more that this when the do formal quote.
How much roughly is insurance?
Will be keeping an eye out to see what other quotes people have had.
