Baker1702 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hi. Me and my girlfriend are beginning the process of emigrating to Melbourne late 2019/early 2020. I work as a mechanic and was wondering what was the most quick and efficient way of shipping my tools over was. Any info would be a huge help. Thanks.

Baker1702 Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 And also.. a rough estimate as to how much it will cost. I know obviously it will be down to weight of tools. But if anyone has done this before, just a rough estimate about how much it was would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth 666 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Some removal companies offer an airfreight service as part of the whole shipping malarkey. Worth asking while you’re getting quotes if you’re shipping a container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 It was 10 years ago when we shipped hubbys tools but we used Crown relo and they were sent in a shared container. It took 8 weeks from A to B and we had no issues at all. I cant remember the cost sorry. They had to be as clean of oil and grease as possible ,so he put what he could (spanners, sockets etc) through a hot engine wash and packed everything into smaller new or very clean tool boxes. Each tool box had to be able to be picked up and carried by 2 men, even if it had wheels. If the box locked you had to tape a key to the top for easy access if they wanted to check at Customs. Hope this helps a bit Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hi @Baker1702 are you shipping anything else? People like @PSS International Removals Do small amounts in shared containers also John Masons. Hubby uses Parcel Monkey, from the top of my head 20kg is £100 and 50kg is around £200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPRINTER Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Who ever you use make sure you have decent insurance for them, mine arrived last week with some items missing although they were in a single occupancy container and locked and sealed when they left my last home. Now seeing how good the insurance is or how they get out of paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
