Austrial Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hi, I am due to fly into Darwin NT in mid August. Next week, I am going to finalise my removals. My shortlist is PSS and Anglo Pacific. For a sole use 20 feet container, their prices are £5100 and £5600 (door to door - almost all inclusive) respectively. I felt the quotes were a little steep, but both companies attributed the extra costs to delivering to Darwin. As it will take about 9-12 weeks for my personal effects to arrive, I am considering sending across two cartons (each 25 kgs) of essential stuff by air cargo. I would be grateful for: your thoughts / advice on the two removal quotes (PSS and Anglo Pacific) and any recommendations for air freight. Thank you in advance.

Guest The Pom Queen Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I know we moved our goods interstate from Melbourne to Cairns and because of the distance it cost us over $5000. One thing is look at using Insure Your move instead of the companies own insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austrial Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thanks PQ, that is exactly what I did after reading some posts in this forum. I got a quote from Insure Your Move and went with that. PSS (the removalists who are doing the shipping) have sent a disclaimer form for me to sign and send back to them, which I will do. Do you or anyone have suggestions about Air cargo to send some boxes (may be 3 or 4) so that they will arrive soon after I reach Australia? Thanks for your tips.

Personally I don't have any recommendations but one of our lovely members @w1johnston wrote a good thread about her experience so far shipping some boxes and I thought it was a very good price.
