Lots.  I was just on a Zoom call today with a friend whose daughter moved back to Australia in September and they're still waiting for their stuff to arrive.

Its terrible  !! Looks like we will be waiting a while !!

We are shipping all our belongings home from Brisbane to uk but our agent are saying they have major issues with uk ports and shipping lines .

And they are struggling with getting a freight booking for our 40ft container. 

Also there might be further price increases. 

Move home is stressful enough without these shipping delays.

Has anyone else had problems please  ???

Can anyone help with a good shipping company around the Brisbane area please. 

We are moving forward to the uk in 3 half months time.

Are belongings are all in local storage ready for shipping 

We were going with Overseas Packers & Shippers but haven't replied after 4 phone calls !!

Also someone who is competitive on price 

Much appreciate any help

Thank you

Ok that has helped and made it clearer for us !! And thank you for the super information also !!

We live in Redcliffe North Brisbane 

We have one quote from $7700 for 30 cubic metres container 

And $10,740 for a 38 cubic metres & this is probably the size we need !!

This quotation was from a company called overseas packers & Shippers !!

We want one more quote so can anyone recommend another competitive company please  !!

Hi everyone 

We are applying for a exemption to leave Australia for good in july this year as we want to get back with family and settle back in the uk.

Apparently if we include proof we are leaving Australia for good in the way of sending proof in the exemption form like :

we have sold are house

Price for shipping our belongings 

price for flying our dog

Notice we are leaving our employment 

We should get the approval to leave Australia  !!!  Has anyone else on here had a exemption approval to leave Australia etc ????

Any feedback would be much appreciated  !!!

Lee,Elly & Arnold the Bulldog

How do we get the best rate & what fees are involved  ?

Look forward to any replies 

Thank you

We are hoping to move back to the uk around july this year 2021 !!!

With all the border closures etc do you think it will be possibly to get a flight home ???

We know the government is given exemptions for uk residents needling to get home for emergencies etc

What about uk residents wanting to return home this year ?? How will it work ?

Any help would be much appreciated

That is Awesome  !! We were worried about this  as got a load of weigh training equipment and was told the weight will cost us a fortune to ship home.
