Red Rose Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) Hi guys I will be shipping from Sydney to East Sussex about 8 boxes of personal effects and clothes and a TV. No furniture or anything else. By the looks of the small move cube, I don’t think it will be even more than quarter fill. Is movecube still the best value even for very small moves?

Marisawright Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) If you're shipping a really small amount, you can ship individual boxes. You must use standard-sized "Tea Chest" boxes which are 61cm (height) x 51cm (depth) x 41cm (width) - and get them from the shippers. The ones you can buy in Officeworks or Bunnings are far too flimsy to ship on their own. Maximum filled weight is 30kg per box. We used Seven Seas (the same company that does the Movecube). They will give you a quote if you ask them. I wouldn't order the small Movecube if you can't fill it, because things will get damaged if they can rattle around. The only problem I can see is that the TV won't fit in the standard box. You can get special TV boxes but I wouldn't even try shipping it individually, the chances of damage would be too high.

calNgary Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 We sent 8 boxes over with Crown Relo when we migrated. They were good to deal with too. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Marissa, the TV is a tricky one, it is curved, which makes it difficult to pack. I may have to take a hit and sell it for about 40% of what I paid for it....
