To use a removals company or not to

So it's getting close to my partner and I leaving the UK for 8months worth of travelling before we land in Australia by the end of the year. We have had quotes from various removal companies but my other half is adamant that for what we are taking (clothes shoes and books) that we should do it all ourselves.

 

Is this advised? What problems may we have? What customs forms do we need to sign before sending our personal possessions over? A friend of mine lives in Newcastle and has said we are welcome to send the belongings from the UK to her house. Can we simply use DHL, for example, for this?

as others have said, air freight is expensive - particularly for heavy items like books. We use parcel monkey to try and find the best quotes for shipping stuff by air.

 

Do you have enough to justify a small movecube?

might be a cheaper option.
