Doree Bonnar have quoted us £885 for 146 cubic feet. They also said they would match any cheaper quote.:smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandJon Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 But don't forget Cass is heading to Tassie - that will affect the price too Just remember that whatever time they tell you for shipping it will almost certainly take longer because it'll be a shared container Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oldmarried Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yes, if you are doing a shared container to Tas it will cost a lot more. There is no-one doing a groupage service direct to Hobart. It will get shipped via Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anlopa Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 This is the quite i have gone with this is the same size as a large move cube, but they pack and wrap everything + if I need any more space I can add to it.

woodymcfc Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Just to make you aware of charges at the other end once you get your quotes from the shipping companies. I am in Perth now and will be receiving my shipment of 545 cuft (16.28cbm) within the next few weeks. The first charge which I expected was the customs charge. The company that JM use in Perth have charged me $30 + gst per cbm thats $537.24, thats before customs have inspected the container. Now whats really got me is that only yesterday I received another invoice for a total of $64, this is for the customs duty of $9 for bedding that I bought new and declared, the other $50 is an administration charge by the company that JM uses in Perth. Forgive me if there is a lot more work that goes into typing a few figures into an online form but $50 !!!!!!! I have asked once I receive my goods that I also receive invoices for charges by customs and a seperate invoice that JM's perth company use for their charges, I will then take this up with JM because I believe that when you go with a particular shipping company you should be told in detail what your gonna get hit with once you arrive !!!!
