mlphw Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hey everyone, I'm moving back to the UK in September and have booked a small move cube to send a few items next month. Whilst I have seen some reviews on here of using MoveCubes from UK to Aus I haven't seen many the other way from Aus - UK. I'm now concerned as after talking to a shipping company they have told me how Move Cubes have lots of issues going from Aus-UK and that UK customs don't like them as they are owner packed etc. and that I will have a lot of trouble at customs. Can anyone tell me their experience in terms of any HMRC customs issues going from Aus-UK with a MoveCube? I'm hoping it's not true and it's just the shipping company trying to put me off to get my business! Thanks for reading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 We used a small move cube last year and it was fine. No issues at all moving from Oz to UK. Though I know there has been some changes in the rules in the UK since then.

mlphw Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Thanks very much for your reply. I have sent my TOR application so all good there fingers crossed that will get approved soon. To be honest I think it was the shipping agent of another company trying to put me off using a MoveCube so he could get my business....but I just wanted to double check. He seemed to think as I have self-packed my stuff it will all get held up in customs in the UK for weeks and weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
