Re: Moving Costs
We moved Sept 2014 and in total, including insurance and costs in NZ it worked out to just over £8000 for a 40ft container. We also brought our car which made it a little more than if you are only bringing furniture. We used PSS.

Re: Moving Costs
We also used PSS in March 2012 and paid £5000 for a 40ft container from Preston, UK to Wellington. Didn't need insurance as my new employer covered the whole shipment on the company insurance which saved around £1500. We didn't bring any vehicles. Just furniture and the like.

Re: Moving Costs
Thank you for you replies we've had quote come through today for 7000 for the sole use of a 40ft container although we only have 1200 cubic feet of stuff so may have to leave some here!

Re: Moving Costs
When you start to have to quantify the volume of junk you've purchased in cubic feet it makes you feel very guilty. I used to have a pen knife and was very content with that pen knife.

Re: Moving Costs
Lol, we threw most of our childhood memories away the last time we went so haven't really gathered much being back here in the last 5 years, thinking of jumping in there ourselves to save on flights lol
