Hi,

Just wondering if there are any good threads where people have broken down the costs to emigrate from the UK to Oz?

Just wondering how much things like shipping pets over (dog) and container costs will be.

Thanks

search...

Anyone have a more helpful response!?

I know how to search (thanks) and already have but couldn't find anything that useful - maybe I'm using the wrong search terms...who knows.

I remember seeing a really helpful list (Excel I think) someone posted on their expected cost-of-living expenses - was hoping there might be something similar for moving costs.

Here is one for example, I have answered in there so won't repeat here.

Still more useful than Tramps_mate's comment though

Actually, you have listed a few things I may need to consider

Tramps_mate

I got plenty of info on what you are asking by simply searching.

Oh and using Google.

Tramps_mate

Or emailing companies that provide the services you require..

If you dont have large furniture to ship then I have found these

www.anglopacific.co.uk

Very reasonably priced and extremely helpful. They came highly recommended by a friend..

BudBrain

Wow, congratulations

Will keep them noted, thanks

I got an English springer going from heathrow to Sydney n it's costing about £3,500 and if any use I got a dog courier quote to collect our dog from Sydney quarritine and drive her to Brisbane n that's about $500

Hope that helps

BudBrain

Ouch, surely it'd be cheaper to buy the dog a seat next to us!?

Do the prices increase depending on the size of the dog? Who did you use? After reading some of the other threads, £3500 seem a bit excessive.
