£3600 for a 20ft container
does this cost seem reasonable for sole use of a 20ft container door to door (West Yorkshire to Brisbane area)? what did you pay?

Hi
We are paying £3600 for a 20ft container from somerset to Townsville. I think when asking about other peoples quotes, you have to remember that we are all travelling different distances. obvious i know, but something i didn't think about straight away.
going to adelaide is going to be quite a different price to going up to Townsville.
we are using PSS as they were the cheapest and on the whole seem to have good feedback on here. we had 3 qoutes.
Good luck with what ever you decide.

The price is not out of order we paid similar. It depends not just on the size of the load but also what's in it.

I am moving from Halifax (w yorkshire) to Sydney and have had a quote for moving my worldy possessions from a company in Leeds called Atlantis Overseas, this is for a 450 cu ft container door to door, maybe you should try them.

We paid 2199.00 to NZ with White and Company for a 20ft sole use container, but my sister in law has been quoted 2600.00 with the same company for the same size container to the same destination so I think it depends on the estimator you get on the day.
White and Company were good aswell, although a double extending ladder did go missing en route but nothing we could do about that because we didnt get insurance, we were told it was very rare for them to lose a whole load anyways so took the risk.

Hi folks,
What do you fit into a 20ft container? We'd probably end up taking around half of the stuff in our three bedroom house in Dundee to around Brisbane. Any suggestions as to cost etc? And can you share a container? Anyone with any experience of sharing?
Thanks
Ginny
