20ft container quote
#31
A reefer is a refrigerated container. These are generally a lot more expensive as lines charge a premium to use them. To be honest with you, if its just personal effects you are shipping, a standard 20ft gp is okay. Reefers are only used by companies wishing to ship cargo at a certain temperature.
If anyone requires anymore info please pm me I work in shipping, and will be happy to help

But isn't that right due to the amount we import they often go back to oz empty, so PSS get a good rate for using them? Obviously they go back at normal temp.

Apologies, however we did have server problems a week or so ago, and deid miss some important e mails.

Just had quote from Pickfords of £3700 sole use of 20ft or £3500 groupage.
They want full payment 7 days before which is a bit awkward so will have to ask for early release of exchange monies or grovel to the bank
To all those who've used PSS (who are coming to quote end of wk)-did they want full funds up front or did they take a deposit and balance on pickup?
Cheers

My company just got a quote from Davies Turner at just over £5K for a 20' + insurance.
I can't find anyone on here who has used DT for Oz. Our company has used them for USA-UK moves and they have been very good, but not the cheapest.
Any advice on DT to Oz gladly received...
BTW the price also includes making and treating a special wooden case to protect my large fish tank.
