Nicko 1 Posted Friday at 06:43 Just wondering how people found this - I thought after paying Anglo Pacific around £8000 to bring all the contents of our home that would be it. When the items arrived in Australia we had to pay the Kent Relocation Group another $841 for a Quarantine examination fee now I’ve just had a further email that they want a extra $150 for opening boxes for customs? I feel like they are just trying it on? The email initially said I had to pay customs when U challenged them and said can I pay direct they said it was for their staff to open the boxes for customs.

Marisawright 9,492 Posted Friday at 08:32 (edited) Unfortunately no removalist company can predict what Quarantine and Customs charges might be. There should've been something in the small print of the contract, saying those services would be extra, it's pretty normal. If they have to provide staff for the job, they're entitled to charge.

Ausvisitor 611 Posted Friday at 22:01 I'd say those costs are relatively cheap compared to what I've heard some people have to pay for their customs examination and associated services. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
