Re: Any One from Ireland getting ready to migrate
Hi Silverski,
Just saw your post regarding sending out 30kg of tools. If you're not in a rush then have a look at this post on Irishozforum.

This was an awesome deal that Deacon got. I sent 5 boxes with Sevenseas for around €460. The beauty with them is that they supply the boxes and you can get 40kg into each. I wasn't in a rush and the stuff we sent on the 07 Nov has landed in Sydney already and is awaiting customs clearance. Sevenseas offer a door to door service which is great.
Check out their airfreight charges too as I assume they should beat that €950 price.
We have moved out here since the 02 Dec and are still living the dream and haven't started looking for work yet. You're coming here at a good time as property is dropping as is car prices.
Just checked http://www.baggage.ie and they'll airfreight your 30kg for €385.
Best of luck mate,

We used McGimpseys in Bangor to move to Melbourne , with the pound so low you may get them at a bargain its worth a shot. They where very good

Re: Any One from Ireland getting ready to migrate
Did they pack as well? Rough estimate of cost? Total transit time?
Thanks

Re: Any One from Ireland getting ready to migrate
Hi all,
we have chosen our movers and they will be here on the 12th of Feb to pack all our worldly goods to go down under.
We have decided on Pickfords.
Here is hoping that all goes well.
