Have you tried a search in the "Returning to the UK" Forum, you may find advice there.

Good luck.

Hi Tia, I'am using Wridgeways from Perth to the UK. there are charging roughly $5800 for a 20ft space in a 40ft container.

I had prices from Pickfords which was around $7,500 for the same.

I also had a few more prices but Wridgeways seemed the best price with the best care/service for our things.

Thanks jane...not going yet but will be nearer aug sept time..reason being its the best thing to do as my kids who are 19 and 16 want to go back home,daughter cannot get into any courses here so shes going back for 4 yrs and my son who loved it here at first as done a around turn and is missing his mates etc,so its the only choice i have ...wrong time to come out with the kids at the ages they are...And ive had enough of seeing them unhappy,daughters working and has met a couple of friends but its not enough to keep her here..sons at school yr 11 and has made 2 friends but they dont meet up after school or at weekends..

Tia,

As Merlot said, if you have a look at the returning to the Uk forum there is some useful info posted recently on cheapest, who to avoid etc.
