Hello,

I've just got what seems like an excellent offer from Freedom Shipping company to ship our belongings over to Melbourne ( not taking furniture). They will ship tea chest sized boxes for at £69 for the first box, followed by £30 for subsequent ones, and then .. each fifth box is FOC! Takes 8-12 weeks, but thats fine for us if we are not paying much!!

First place I've contacted really - any advice or experiences?

We used them, they were good, I also sent my daughter's surfboard and a very large photo and they're charges were quite cheap for them. we sent ours out way before we came and it all turned up in 1 piece and they're timings were spot on. Just before we flew out end of January we sent another 4 boxes and that's just clearing quarentine now so should get that soon.

we used freedom shipping too and they were excellent Only thing that was damaged was a kitchen glass pot which i dropped whilst unpacking

Thanks .. they sound good!! Think I'll book with them next week so I can begin the long packing process.

I'm thinking of using those vacuum bags to save room. Anyone had any experience of those? Can they cause condensation?

just wondered if there are any other charges for boxes when they get to address in Melbourne?
