Guest LandL Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Eve read through some reviews on shipping on here but most seem to discuss moving large items. I only really want to ship a box or two of extra clothes, a few books etc. Seven Seas Worldwide popped up on my search and it seems to have good reviews and I was quite happy with the quote... does anyone have any experience with them (or suggestions for someone better/cheaper?!). Any help would be great .. so many companies pop up on goggle ive been struggling to workout who is best! Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quoted by them 104£ for a couple of boxes of books, seems extremely expensive to me, considering its going by sea its cheaper to buy the books again at the other end.

Guest Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 We used them for a move cube and then shipped 4 tea chest sized boxes seperate to this. Was fine, good price and delivered to our door in Aus within 12 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure the books will be cheaper here? I find books to be expensive here. If you are filling a box with books, then £104 seems cheap to me.

GooseRenders Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I've just been quoted £474 for four boxes door to door with Sevenseas. Thought that was actually pretty reasonable compared to others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobeTrotta Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Have used Seven Seas three times on 3 continents and they have always been excellent. Delivery always showed up and cost was reasonable mind you it was only two tea chest size boxes now last time down graded to one. As to books they are far more expensive in Australia and I bought them regularly from UK at about 50% of cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hubby gets parcels delivered between 20-25kg and its £100 with parcel monkey and it's here in 7 days exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hubby gets parcels delivered between 20-25kg and its £100 with parcel monkey and it's here in 7 days exact. The trouble with books is that they're extremely heavy and it's the weight that costs the money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairview70 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I was going to use Seven seas their small move cube seemed perfect until I saw it wasn't door to door service. Unless you live in one of the main cities this would mean my belongings would still be 200miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairview70 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 My shipment is going with seven seas and its door to door.... Are you going to one of the main cities through and are you taking boxes or using a move cube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseRenders Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'm going to Bunbury so no, and yes, boxes, however I did look into a move cube and they quoted me door to door? It's the main reason I chose SS. Maybe give them a call to double check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bound4Tassie Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 The online quote calculator gives 2 large boxes as £119...but the there's another charge in AUD that says chargeable at destination. For Tassie it's another £170ish !! Crikey , is it worth sending anything!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseRenders Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Benn here - Just to clarify, Bunbury is the second largest city in WA (popn ~70000) so it may be considered a main city by Seven Seas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairview70 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Well I've been on the site for about an hour looking for where it lists the cities and can't find it. But if your quote lists the place your going you're ok. I orginally asked them to clarify that it isn't door to door service other than city destinations and they simply sent a quote for for door to port. I emailed them again yesterday to get a straight answer but not replied. I have done a quote for boxes now instead and this is door to door and if I'm frugal with my packing cheaper.

I have had a courteous reply from seven seas apologising but stating in my case door to port only available on move cube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
