are you allowed to say who with?

Shop around, do a search on here and you'll find loads of reviews and peoples opinions and the quotes they got. As a builder you should know never to go with the first quote you get.

Sounds fair to me. We paid something similar Ldn to Bris three years ago.

All of our stuff arrived the other week.

We used John Mason based in Liverpool, and paid GBP 3,200 for sole use of a 20ft container, Derby to Melbourne. Just had the customs fees this end to add on $370 I think. We agreed that price in August and our stuff was shipped mid August. I did get other quotes and knocked JM down a bit but no one would budge below 3,200 so at the time i figured i'd got the best price.

I would highly recommend John Mason, all of our stuff arrived in once piece nothing damaged or broken. And the team this end were great.

Of course, however they were recomended by our rellatives who used them a couple of years ago.

we had between £3,300 (Whites) to £4,900 Crown - Brizzle to Perth. We went with D Bonner as their depot is just the other side of Bath so we could see our stuff loaded into the container from the removals truck. DB was about £3,600 + insurance was another £1300 or so (2.7%). AQIS fees $374 at the other end (as stated above).
DB were fine but VERY quick at packing. too quick and enthusiastic in some cases, packing stuff we weren't taking and dropping a couple of items.
remains to see if any damage done. left depot 7th Nov, arrives Freo 22nd Dec. May get it by 15th Jan what with Xmas & New Year break.
