Samantha Leigh Walker Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hi all, I'm leaving Sydney Australia to return to Essex this Sunday. I've left a lot of planning to the last minute and the main thing I need to arrange is my shipping. I don't have much probably only 3-4 standard boxes worth, mostly clothes, personal items and a few kitchen bits. Since I don't have much to move I was wondering if it will be better if I simply post the boxes home since it seems cheaper and they'll arrive much sooner. Has anyone had experince with posting large boxes to the UK? Can anyone recommend a shipping company that won't charge $700 or upwards for a few boxes that won't arrive for 7-10 weeks? Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated. Thank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen85 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 If you have a quote for less than 700 maybe stick with it, I've heard Seven Seas are cheap but shipping will always take longer than air so you have to bear that in mind when planning a move.

Emma Couldwell Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hi, did you find a good company to use? I'm also looking to send about the same amount this week. I've tried Excess Baggage Company, Seven Seas, Jetta and Anglo Pacific. So far the first ones are cheapest but I'm still waiting for quotes from the last two.

ItchyFeet76 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 To be honest, I'd leave any kitchen bits in Oz as they're cheap to replace over here and you'll need them as soon as you get here (unless you plan to live on takeouts!). Not sure how long you've been away but check out Asda for homewares (if you're on a low budget) - our friend has just kitted out his new house extremely cheaply (and it's not all tat that breaks in a week, either). Good luck with your move back to the UK - bring us some sunshine over, please ;-) I-F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
