I'm currently in the process of trying to find the best price for shipping items from our home in the UK to Newcastle, NSW. We have a 3 bedroom home, and will be taking some furniture, but not all. One double bed and mattress, one single bed (no mattress), 2 dressers, one sofa, 2 bikes, books, pictures, toys and a few kitchen bits (stand mixer and food processor, nothing bulky)
We've been quoted over £4k for sole use of a 20ft container, which is quite a lot more than I'd expected. (I personally don't think we we need sole use of container, we'd be happy to share, and certainly unlikely to fill a 20ft)
I'm wondering what other people's experiences have been - who did you use, and what size were you quoted. Any recommendations much appreciated. We're looking to have our items shipped the last week in September, so time is pretty tight, although do-able!
