Patphillips47 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 As expected Australian quarantine has said our vehicle needs to be cleaned ( last car we brought in had to be done twice according to quarantine they were not happy with the steam clean etc the first time ) However we have been quoted $770 plus GST but I feel that's high ? Has any one else experienced this as being so costly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Dunno ours wasn't cleaned at either end apart from a good wash and polish before it was shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patphillips47 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 I expected the request to clean not many seem to get through without it so you have been lucky its the cost of cleaning I am not happy with at all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArrowsEng Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The cleaning will range from $600+gst to one I've seen at nearly $900+gst. The basic costs are for transport of the vehicle by flatbed tow truck from the quarantine storage to the cleaning place and then back again. This is between $150 to $220 each way. I'd ask for a negotiated breakdown of the cost or get the vehicle inspected at the quarantine cleaning place. The cleaning cost is then the rest with some extra for the freight company to organize it all (I'd think $200 for the cleaning and an extra $100+ for the freight company).

Patphillips47 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 I have agreed to pay the costs as really its a rock and a hard place and we would like the car ASAP However I am unhappy that the shipping company say they can not give me an itemised bill !!!!! The guy I am dealing with is not very forthcoming on anything We have much going on at the minute that we want to finalise things hence the decision to pay the bill Once its done I will be contacting the shipping company again with some comments !!
