It took our stuff 15 weeks to get to us from the UK,We used Pickfords and the communication from the Australian end was v poor.Our container remained in Sydney for about three weeks and then for some reason was driven past us to a depot to be driven back down again.Boxes were missing and our sons bed arrived without any sides or mattress so our sons bed didn't arrive.Items were also damaged.The remote controls for our TVs were cunningly hidden in items which had no relation to anything electrical and it took us days to find them!Funny now,not at the time as they couldn't be turned on!We used Letton Percival for insurance and they were absolutely excellent.I would advise anyone moving to itemise every single box with 100% detail of what is in it and if using a company ensure you have seen the box leave the house before ticking it off.On our move day we had so many boxes that it was impossible to be sure everything had been added to our list and we were so stressed we just ticked everything.

Another thing hindsight has shown us is that a removal company wants to generate as big a volume of space as possible when packing and loading.We had our bulky cushions from our sofas packed separately and not sat on the sofas,nothing was flat packed,we even had an empty laundry basket packed into a box which could easily have had stuff placed in it.If we packed ourselves I believe we could've saved over a third of the space,which would've meant big savings.

We return to the UK in July and will be using move cube and planning our packing like a military excercise!Anyone got any info about movecube?

We are in a similar poof returning eight months down the line.
