crypticat 18 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottieGirl 1,215 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crypticat 18 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crypticat 18 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?
