thomasdyke Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hi Guys, My Partner and I are in the process of moving out to Brisbane in April and we are currently getting quotes from companies. We aren't shipping out a whole load of stuff (About 12 - 15 boxes) of personal belongings, DVDs, clothes and our bikes. So far we've received a quote from Dolphin Removals (a local company in Crosby, Liverpool) for £485 and this is not including any insurance etc. I thought this was a little pricey - am I being a tad naive? Does anyone know of good and relatively cheap shipping companies which we can get a quote off? Thanks in advance for your help and guidance, A bemused Tom and Jen :err: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikmartin Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm planning the same at the moment to Brisbane in April. You mention 12-15 boxes but without knowing the dimensions of them it is difficult to give you any comparisons. For example we are looking at shipping up to 24 of the big Ikea boxes 78x56x42cm each and no big furniture items and this would cost approx £1000 before AUS Import costs and insurance, so probably closer £1500 (this is approx 218 cubic sq feet I've had other quotes for 250 cubic sq ft for approx £1600 without insurance Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest26012 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think that sounds reasonable to be honest. I sent a small parcel to the uk and it cost me $70! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your help and guidance, A bemused Tom and Jen :err: we shipped 4 boxes via a web site very well know which i would not recommend as our boxes were all damaged, and all in all it cost £455.00 plus aqis clearance fee of 165 dollars so yours for 12-15 boxes is good value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I actually think thats sounds quite cheap. We shipped 18 large boxes ,6 years ago and that cost over 800GBP,, but did include all insurance and fees at this end. If insurance and other costs arent included in your quote ,try to get a rough figure of what you will be expected to pay at this end so its not an unwelcome surprise.
