niknikniknik Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 So... Silly question... I'll be moving to Melbourne in the next 8 weeks and will find accommodation when I get there. I was planning on taking a few suitcases but the cost of that is huge! £100 per bag on Etihad flights :mad: Are you able to ship boxes off without an address at the other side? So I could post some of my belongings and then pick them up when i'm in Melbourne from an office or a warehouse? Nikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 You can ship them, you can't post them. Use someone like SevenSeas. Note: you MUST give them an address of some kind, otherwise they'll only quote to get the boxes at the port, and you'll be hit with extra delivery charges later. Give them the address of your holiday accommodation (you are booking a holiday flat for the first couple of weeks aren't you?). Then once you've got a permanent address sorted out, you just ring SevenSeas and let them know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikki Shipping to Australia is an option, but depending on how many suitcases, the £100 doesn't sound too bad. Shipping can take up to 10 weeks, but no you don't need an address at the time of sending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niknikniknik Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thanks! I've looked at seven seas and that looks like an easy option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzy--bee Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Why don't you book temporary accommodation now and then ship it to the accommodation address? We allow people booked into our Melbourne short-term accommodation to send possessions in advance to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niknikniknik Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 I don't have exact dates at the moment unfortunately so would be unable to book accommodation at this point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
