Guest Beth101 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 We were told 7-8 weeks by the removal company, however actually took 12 weeks. Was delayed in Singapore for 10 days, as it was to change ship but missed the connection. Then was delayed at customs for another 10 days as the inventory wasn't clear enough. Hope this helps!

Ken Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Of course if your ship get held up by Somalian pirates it could take years so don't forget the insurance (and that you've got all risks coverage). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Ashforth Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ours was collected from the UK on 3rd August 2011, it was 400 cu ft packed in a shared container. It landed in Port Botany, Sydney last Friday (14th October) and we're hoping to have it in Port Macquarie within 10-14 days from that date. Just hope all goes well, can't wait to see our stuff again!
