Victoria Currie Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi, I'm moving back to the UK in a couple of weeks and just have a few personal items that need to be shipped over... Approximately 6 average sized house moving boxes with personal things inside i.e photo albums sentimental ornaments clothing and books etc. I live in Manchester but could collect from anywhere in the U.K, and I currently live in Perth. This is a last minute emergency move, hence the short time space and the urgency to find someone who can help me get my sentimental things home. I have had quotes from removals but they are ridiculously expensive to send over just a few boxes. Any help would be so gratefully received Hope to hear from someone soon, Victoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyNook Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 First post to ask strangers to ship some boxes for you? You cannot be serious :eek: - no-one in their right mind is going to do that. Every bit of travel advice ever given says never to carry items for anyone you don't know. Anyone that considers it has rocks in their head.

VERYSTORMY Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 W had a similar issue - we moved with less than a weeks notice. Have a look at move cube. You would easily get six boxes in a small move cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP - on the off chance this is a genuine (but misguided) request, why would you entrust your possessions to somebody you have never met. They would not be able to declare they are shipping for somebody else, so they could just keep everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooba Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 For what it's worth, it is cheaper for me to bring excess luggage on the plane than to ship our stuff (Canada to Australia). Give that some consideration. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
