Ahhhhhhh, perhaps a trunk ?
Whilst sat upon the throne last night contemplating another dimension to our ongoing turmoil ( how do we get what little junk we have to aus ) i came across a fantastic ( at least i thought so at the time ) idea, buy a trunk, perhaps two and ship / fly them over..............GREAT !, dead chuffed....................but, where do you get them from, how much do they cost and how much does it cost to send them..................?
There's a moral in this story, whilst thinking about a single question i came upon a single answer, that however has turned into 3 more questions and hence we go on and on and bloody on................forever. Stressed. Paul |

Anyhoo, I'm not at work tomorrow (at the York emigration fair) but I'll send an email to a couple of the matrons to see if they know. If they do I'll post back here on Sunday / Monday (got a big weekend in York planned with a mate while I'm there :beer::beer: ). |

Stressed. Paul The trunk idea is all well and good, but if two men can't lift it you may have problems. The removal companies prefer man-handleable boxes. BTW 3 m2 cost about 750 GBP with insurance. |
Ive seen them in good luggage shops .
We are London based so John Lewis or selfridges ???? Wish all our stuff fitted in 2 trunks still cant believe hubbie wants a 40 ft container :scared: |
Mr Mover might have info on this, but I remember being told to avoid tea-chests as they often been filled with sawdust or woodchips for previous packing.

We've just got a quote for air-freight from John Mason. Door-to-door, including packing and customs clearance, Kent to Gold Coast, up to 300kg/1.3cu m £1350.
A trunk would be heavy and probably add to the cost of shipping. Better to get hold of custom packing materials or have shippers do the packing. We're sending 2 computers, loads of files and excess baggage 2 months after our main shipment went in a 40ft container. Lesley |
