Hiya
We have been quoted 63 days from door to door for shipping and 21 days for air freight - obviously, the stuff we take as luggage immediate!
Our Dog is going 22nd August to Bristol - then they keep her there for a day or 2. She is due to arrive in Sydney and she will spen 4 weeks there - we are booked to fly 3rd September - arrive 7th after stop over.
I have been advised to put some docs in our luggage that we will need as soon as we get there - Driving Licences, passports etc to get TFN and medicare sorted.
Hope this helps!

Re: How long......Shipping
With shipping remember that no-one can preict how long it will be held up at Customs/AQIS. May clear in a couple of days, or could take several weeks. There's no way of being as precise as working out on which day to ship stuff.

How many weeks in temp accomodation ?
Where will you be living before leaving UK.?
Also as Polly says, you never know exactly how long it will take. 10 weeks is normal, a lot longer has been known.
Cant help on pets, because you cannot take a goldfish as far as I know

Hi
We were quoted roughly 11 weeks from Forfar to Brisbane. Our container leaves tomorrow afternoon, we fly out 23 June and are in furnished for 5 weeks so hoping that this timing will match up.

Re: How long......Shipping
Sorry guys this isnt quite what i meant bad gramma! lol
What i mean is say i was flying out on Sun the 10th Feb when would i have the packers in to send my stuff eg: go on sun so have them in on the thursday before going or even earlier.
Also would you arrange for the dog to go on the thursday before or 2 weeks before then there would only be 2 weeks onece you got there till you got them back.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Re: How long......Shipping
As far as the dog goes I'd think carefully about your accommodation options when you arrive... You might want longer than 2 weeks without him/her depending upon how successful you are at deciding exactly where you want to be and obtaining something that allows pets, etc etc...
