bubba911 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Anyone ever experienced weight restrictions on shipping? We've booked a 20 foot sole use container with a reputable company. During the booking process there was no mention of weight restrictions, however, the booking form has arrived with a 7000lbs weight restriction. Anyone had this? We've moved before and never had weight restrictions. I have no way of estimating whether 7000lbs is a reasonable amount or whether we might go over? I will call company tomorrow and ask but thought I'd refer to the more knowledgeable on here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I hadn't heard of that. How did you go talking to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chris955 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I would imagine that is just a safety issue and that a normal household wouldnt get close to 7000lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba911 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Apparently it's the limit set by the Audtralian authorities and as homewardbound588 says, household contents won't come close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memmymooch Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 When I was looking at using move cube that had restriction of 1500kg - obv it's much smaller than container but if you think about it tv bench large weighs around 25kg chest of drawers roughly the same most household stuff apart from white goods not gonna be excessively heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srg73 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Mmmmmm intersting and may cause us an issue with a large record collection on top of our household bits. Advantage is that we are not taking a car though! S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chris955 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I think unless you have 1000 records made of lead you shouldnt have any problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
