Bound4Tassie Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I've been advised by Seven Seas that they will only ship a move cube as far as Melbourne, not on to Tasmania. Hardly door to door service!....but anyway...does anyone have any experiences or recommendations to get things from uk to Tassie? We don't need a full shipping container. If no one will deliver to Tassie we may be travelling very light indeed !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sent our stuff from Sydney and it sailed into Launceston then came to our house on a truck. We had to wait nearly three weeks for it!

vickyplum Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 My recollection is that the shipping part (ie, by water) only goes as far as Melbourne and then we possibly had to pay extra for them to truck our stuff to Sydney. Surely they would be happy to charge you more, to get your stuff to TAS?! The mind boggles with these companies sometimes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyhead Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 We used Seven Seas from UK to Tas door to door for a few boxes. Also had a quote from John Masons who will ship to Devonport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bound4Tassie Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) We used Seven Seas from UK to Tas door to door for a few boxes. Also had a quote from John Masons who will ship to Devonport. Yes they will.do a few boxes but not a movecube. Was hoping to take bikes , golf bag, few items of small furniture then fill up rest of spaces with whatever would fit. Hence a move cube being ideal but at this rate looks like the extra transport costs to TAs make it not worthwhile! Looks like we might be beg borrowing or stealing off the Aussie relatives to kit out our house to begin with!! Lucky we've got relatives I guess!
