crypticat Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Morning all, We've just received quotes in for a 40ft container shipment of household goods from Melb to UK (southampton). Eye-watering... If you've done the move back to the UK from Melbourne, I'd really appreciate if you could let me know some ballpark figures of what it cost you. Many thanks in advance, R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottieGirl Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I was quoted $330 per cubic metre Sydney to London for a shared ccontainer.A 40 ft container is 68 cubic metres so would come to $22.5 k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crypticat Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Thanks ScottieGirl. So far sole-use 40ft container quotes have been coming up a bit cheaper than $22K - I'll fill you in once all my quotes are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crypticat Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 An update! I've been out to a number of removals companies and the quotes are in. For our move, the cheapest quotes are coming in around $12500 and the most expensive $15000. Given a freight forwarder is quoting about $5300 for the pick-up of the container and shipment to Southampton (https://www.wwcf.com.au/quotes/export/container/3.php), does this sound reasonable or similar to what others have been charged or quoted?
