graham from hull Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Been looking on facebook poms in oz. Some lady saying she got full 20ft container UK to Perth for £2300. Funny that i just rang same company, Pickfords and they quoted £4200 plus insurance. Anglo pacific £4000 plus insurance. So i recon there all about the same price surely.

No 1 bad word to say about them from the rep to the girls in the office to the guys that packed, and they didn't charge me for the extra 7cu ft.

KirstyLP Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hi guyswhat can you get on a 20 ft one . were not taking beds but sofas , bikes , toys etc would we need a 20 ft ( is this a full size one) A 20ft Container is about the size of a single garage and typically can fit the contents of your average 3 bedroom house, around 1050 cubic feet in volume. Containers come also in larger sizes too with 40ft and 45ft high cube options for those with large volumes. Best advice is to get three quotes so you can understand what you're options are, and to compare prices. What I would also add is it's really hard to estimate YOUR individual shipping costs based on everyone else. If I look at all the quotes our company has done for 20ft containers to Australia this year the variance can be quite high because everyone's needs are different. Things like access to properties at each end, timescales, special items requiring extra protection, dismantling etc will all affect your price - no move is a typical move, so, as any decent company will offer a free no obligation quotation this is the only way to really get a good idea of what you need to budget for shipping and to start making plans for what to take. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AW1977 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Gosh, these quotes all seem cheap! We have a 2 bed flat in London to move to Melbourne and not taking all our furniture and has been estimated at 470 - 530 cubic feet, or half a 20 ft container and quote was £2900 with Anglo Pacific and about £2500 with some other companies! Sounds like we are being ripped off? We are very near AP office so that shouldn't be an issue so why are our quotes so much higher?!!! We are not taking any odd items just standard household good and a few items of furniture? Should I be bargaining more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Ian Hi Ian, Yes we cover the whole of the UK so please let me know if you'd like any further details. We recommend contacting moving companies around 12 weeks before your move date. You can of course do this with shorter notice, but this sort of timescale gives you time to weigh up all your options and make your decisions as well as preparing for the move (i.e. sorting any belongings you aren't taking, complete any documentation you need etc). From door to door (including packing, loading, shipping, customs clearance and delivery) as an industry average we estimate around 7-9 weeks in total.
