paulswin Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hey did anyone pack their own 20 ft container to be shipped back? If so who did you use I'm in WA and not sure who to use! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinbjulieb Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 No, apparently customs are more likely to check a self packed container and the insurance is higher. We used Chess moving in Perth and they were great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottieGirl Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I also used Chess they packed it really well. If you pack yourself your shipment gets a different code so much more likely to be checked by customs which will incur a fee plus it will delay delivery. None of the companies I got quotes from would quote less for self packing (Chess,Pickfords and Crown). I think they are bothered about issues with customs if owners pack which will inevitably cause hassles for them as wel.. The packers picked up on a couple of things that would be questioned that never occurred to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondie Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 We self packed and got a removalist to help pack the container, didn't get stopped at customs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
