Guest Stevo1 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Hi We are looking at shipping back to the UK, I would be interested to hear how much you are quoted and for what sized container. We are just trying to weigh up costs at the moment so would be great if you could give us an indication. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahloo Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Stevo1 Cost depends on each company. Have been quoted between $7000 - $9000 for 20ft container. Make sure you check-out company's credentials, some are fraudulently claiming they are registered with certain accreditations when they are not. Don't be afraid to ask questions, and read the small print! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carole38 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Can i ask why you are all heading back to the UK? Also, Where abouts in Australia are you? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatpack Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I'm wondering what the cost of sending a container from UK to Oz is and would it be cheaper to but one and pack it ourselves? Also can we put a car in the container? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kelleeq Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hi, I'm in Sydney and having spent 10 years here it's time to go home and make some memories with my family and friends there. Australia doesn't feel the same as it did 10 yrs ago, everything is getting so expensive here now. Also fancy Europe holidays for a change.... used to love catching to EuroStar to Paris or a cheap flight to Rome. We can't wait to move back now. Still not chosen a container company though. Someone told me over the weekend that refrigerated containers are a cheaper option as they are only loaded one way - gonna look into that one too.

Guest colmarwatson Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Please keep in mind the container size .sounds strange but all or nothing is sometimes best. If you have streamlined your stuff you may end up sharing the container with several other people all going through different ports and customs in Australia several weeks delivery can be 3-4 months .. .A container which has a good percentage of your belongings and space shared with Clarify with the removal company on these points Remember all warrantys on uk items are useless overseas ,most appliances will either not be compatible or just not allowed.. Its all pretty cheap over here( and a wonderful excuse to get a new tv) Hope this helps International Shipping Companies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris N Lora Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 We had a quote from Kent and OSS, Kent was 11.600 dollars for a 40 ft container that is for a 3 bed house car and motorbike. OSS was 12.400$ however that included crate for motorbike and more. we are getting more qoutes 9k for a 20 ft is steep!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marenmatt1 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Would also love to hear what quotes people get. Also if people could say (without being to personal) roughly what they are shipping back. I got quoted about $2800 app for a move cube bris to south England. Am unsure if it will be enough space though. (I am shipping a queen bed suite, books, dvds, kitchenware, etc. So not to much.

lilmiss125 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 We're just in the process of asking for quotes from companies so I'll let you know. I'm hoping it'll be in our favour to ship things back rather than sell things over here. But not moving too much either, we can dismantle the bed, tv stand, side tables etc which is better. What size move cube are you getting @marenmatt1? Have you looked into shared containers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marenmatt1 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi lilmiss125, I was looking at getting a lge move cube, not because I have a lot of stuff but because I'm bringing my queen bed suite. I can't remember if move cube was 2800 or 1800 tho. I got a rough quote from grace for 1400 but wasn't satisfied with how they answered my questions or how they spoke to me either (like I was a moron). Are you leaning towards anyone so far?
