Guest MM79 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi all, Has anyone shipped a crate out to perth?Im just going to send my tools,some clothes and personal effects! Everything else we can leave behind. Derek. Hey we got a quote from Careline yesterday. My husband wants to send all his tools too but we are shipping all our furniture. The whole house is goin to cost us 5 grand. It will take about eight weeks. They do ship small quantities of things too but I'm not sure how small they are willing to go. You just pay for the space you take up in the container. To send them by courier will cost ya a fortune as it goes by weight. A friend of mine is in Perth and he said the tools are very expensive.

Guest sudzy Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi everyone! Just found this site... me and my husband possibly moving to Perth in 6-8 weeks. All a bit sudden so on verge of a bit of a nervous breakdown! Will post back again when I read all the thread but in the meantime, I've heard Careline are great too! Wonder if any of ye have shipped stuff from the UK (that's where we are) and torn between bringing everything, all the furniture etc, or travelleling light (relatively!) any advice??

Guest Sue1203 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Ni ya Can I just say that we went with ace removals and they were brilliant...they beat careline with their quote and were soooooooo professional and helpful and we shipped 2 vehicles and household with them and we couldn't fault them in any way shape or form and would suggest to all on here to give them a call before you go with anyone else as I could tell you a few things about the others that aren't very good. Ace removals number is 083 360 7957, this is the owner, Michaels mobile and if you want tell him Will & Sue recommended them. S x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SineadFoley Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hi all, Did anyone have a look at departure day last nite on rte?? Thought it was very good and alot of stories mirrored ours in different ways, my heart went out to fella at the start talking to camera in airport he was near tears god love him. Giving out about state Ireland is in now thanks to poor managment and how its only going to get worse b4 it gets better also how unfair its yet again the average joe soap who has to flee the country and leave all those they love behind while bankers and tds getting nice fat pensions to retire so they can stay and live the good life while every1 else picks up the tab! like they said yet another lost generation for Ireland! Still waiting on a CO been 28 days since we lodged visa so hopefully wont b waiting too much longer! We are looking forward to the move though although we will miss all our family and friends, however we want to be able to provide some class of a future for our children and we cant see it here anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watched the program last night. It was so sad but confirmed we're making the right decision to go, not that we had any doubts. My heart really went out to the chap from cork having to close the family business after so many years, i've just closed my shop after 5 years of working 12 hour days and no wages, i'm so angry that there was no help for people like me but yet the scum who destroyed this country get baled out and walked away scot free with nice lump sums.:arghh: We hope to get to Perth by nov 12 but would go tomorrow if we could.

SineadFoley Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 We are the same after paying out bones of ten grand on visa's including trip to uk for vetassess and new passports and payment for medicals we are on a mad saving buzz as will prob be another 6 grand for flights for the 3 of us and shipping and as you know need money to start up aswell! My husband will prob go out in late march with myself and mia following in early June, would perfer for us all to head out together but this way he can b earning when we get there. We are heading to Perth as well, hopefully we can all meet up somewhere when we get there! I too felt for the chap in Cork, tis an awful pity on small business owners alright.

SineadFoley Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi Crosby family We are in Wexford so not far from ye! That sounds very good for 20ft container whats that in cubic feet bout 500? Only asking as all our quotes coming in cubic feet. It took us approx 30 days from lodging to getting CO. Looking at June gang this morn, and one of the posters got visa grant 4 days after doing medicals through ehealth so looks like things are moving fast. What is ur main applicants occupation? My husband lodged as carpenter, i went back to college a few years back to study as mainly worked in Hotels and bars as my father was a publican, however wanted to retrain as after i had Mia wanted to work more sociable hours, spent 4 years to get an honours degree in Business, graduated last July in the middle of recession and no work since due to lack of prospects here. Maybe some of us can meet up in the new year or when we get out to Australia although we have family in Perth it would be nice to make friends with some Irish who are going through the same things as us. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My OH did floor and wall tiler assessment we have our own buisness for the past 4yrs but its gone so so bad now, trying to get paid is a nitemare.Think your right about the container only problem is you have to share so it could take longer to arrive.Where in perth you going?
