Shipping my own container?

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Moving back to the UK

After a few bad experiences with removal companies..I am now considering buying my own container and having it shipped from Melbourne to the UK.  

Has anyone ever done this?  How much did you save? how complicated was this process? what companies did you use? 

Any advice on this would be appreciated

I just moved  Sydney  to London.  I used  a removals company as physically there was no way I  was packing it all.

The cost was $330 per cubic metre so you can use that to compare costs. You will also have to factor in boxes and bubble wrap which were included in  my costs. My stuff was extremely well wrapped, they had 2 m long industrial rolls of the stuff. 

Customs are more likely to check owner packed consignments and if they do that will incur fees. From other posts I have seen I doubt if doing it yourself will be much cheaper.
