Candygirl Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We are probably going to need a 20ft container after roughly measuring the items that we would like to take with us. As we will be moving out of our current house and moving into my parents' house, we will need to pack ourselves. Is this possible? How does this affect the customs when the container arrives? As we will be leaving from Spain, we have been advised that we would probably need to organise delivery of our items to the UK and then the removal company would take it from there. This seems to be the most straightforward way as there are not many shippers from Spain to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Have split this from another shipping thread. Hopefully some on here will be able to help Cheers snifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oldmarried Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 There are plenty of shippers from Spain to Australia. Have a look at http://www.fidi.com Even if they list only one office in Spain that does not mean they don't have them all over the country as they often only list one office as a member so worth trying all the Spanish movers on the list.

RockDr Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 If your'e going to have a whole container to yourselves, there shouldn't be any issues with shipping from Spain, it's only if you were having to wait for another part-load that you'd potentially run into difficulties. Customs are more likely to inspect a self-packed shipment. You'll need to make sure you number the boxes and keep a note of the contents of each box. Also make sure you get shipping insurance that covers self-packed items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LojaChica Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 You can definitely go "Spain to Oz" with a sole container! We are doing it BUT the other way round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
