Cost of moving
Hello everyone,
I am planning a move to Aus in December. My boyfriend is Australian and we are moving to his home City. I am really excited about the adventure but I am worried about my belongings. I have a two bedroom appartment full of furniture and although I am happy to sell much of it (TV's, sofas, fridge, freezer, etc) there are certain items that I need to take as they have sentimental value, such as paintings, C.D's, and my large collection of clothes and shoes. I have been investigating the tranportation options and even though I am completing the online forms I am yet to receive a quote. Does anyone have a rough idea how much it would cost to ship a box of perhaps 1 metre cubed in dimentions?

Re: Cost of moving
We're using Crown Removals to move the majority of our gear (we're in a 3 bed semi with conservatory) and its costing £3800 not including insurance. Insurance is around 3-3.5% of however much you think your belongings are worth.

Re: Cost of moving
Hi there are you using Crown for your insurance as they do seem more expensive?
