matimage Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Not clear on your advice. Do you mean you got physical labels in your passport while in the Uk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rocketship Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hiya we are flying out on the 1st of June, had a look at crown, ace, ras etc for removals - found some of them v expensive! Are going with ACE came in at 3300 for 700 cb ft full pack and unpack only extra is $400 for customs on the other side (in Perth) Crown came in well over that amount as did the others. Have heard good reports about ace on here the odd one saying they were a bit late but everything arrived in same condition it was packed in, which in my opinion is the main thing! Hiya Sinead I hope you dong mind me asking, what kind of stuff are you shipping? Just trying to get an idea of how much space I'll need and cost... Hoping to go to pert in oct... Thanks a mill Sara.

Chardy Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Not clear on your advice. Do you mean you got physical labels in your passport while in the Uk? We got the labels put in by Australia house in London too just to save carrying the grant letter everywhere ! Have a great flight Suzy (although you might be there by the time I type this !) I managed to have broken my ankle yesterday so I haven't a clue how we'll get packed up and moved to temp rental in 6 weeks time :ssign8: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucysdream Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yes same as Justin, we got labels put in by sending them to Australia house in London, see link for details http://www.uk.embassy.gov.au/lhlh/visaevid.html Oh noooo Justin!!!!!!!!!! How did you manage that one? My god men will do anything to get out of packing up :wink: I hope you recover fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to feel like you do at the moment! I fell pregnant during the visa process so was given a deadline of 1st May to get info in. I'm pleased to say we've just about managed to do it today! Its been hard work with a new born baby to look after aswell so fingers crossed we get our visa soon! Hope all goes well for you and the family in Oz....Wishing you a happy new life! Woody.

Lucysdream Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hello WA!!!!!!!!!!!! We arrived late last night and today was our first day. Lots of heavy rain for our first day!!! We brought UK weather with us. It wasn't cold though. Sun did come out for a short while too. We are staying in Beaconsfield near Fremantle. Not too much to report yet as not seen a lot, didn't go out until the afternoon as didn't get to bed until 5am from our flight. Thanks to PIO member SaraB for lift from airport. Did a small shop in Coles today....it is expensive but once we start earning dollars should be in line with salaries and costs in UK. It still feels so surreal to be here!
