Excuse my ignorance, but how big is a 20ft container? (answers saying 20 ft will be ignored!)

Mine is £4330 with Coles for a 20 footer to Canberra including packing and a motorcycle crate. I didn't bother haggling because they were already miles cheaper than several of the other quotes.

Good price - we paid £3900 with John Mason but our stuff only just got into the container.

Just a thought and possibly also a stupid question, but will that also include the re-assembly of furniture that you dismantled yourself?

I don't think they will know what was dis-assembled by you or them.

In our case we'll probably just get this stuff to the right room and re-assemble anything ourselves when we can. We'll get them to unpack and remove packing materials on the furniture items but leave clothes boxes intact.

We may get them to completely unpack the kitchen stuff too!

Bedroom stuff we'll leave in boxes and unpack when necessary.

Hey guys, a question for those who have already moved. Has anyone experienced mould or mildew on furniture during transportation? There is added insurance cover, but wanted to see if anyone sees this as necessary extra cost?

Paulry,
I'm going to be sending over a couple of bikes and want to know how you find the experience. Would yoiu keep in touch and let me know.

I'm also getting a quote from Coles.

Marc

Sure, I'll let you know . Probably looking at the end of December/beginning of January for the stuff to arrive in Canberra, etc.
