How much for 650 cubic foot??
Just wondering what others have been quoted for shipping 650 cubic foot including packing to Australia (shared container). Our quotes are coming in and there is quite a variation yet still seem high.

We just got our quote from Atlantis this morning, its £2448 for 680cubic feet or £3100 for a 20ft Container. The insurance is dear though, 3.5% so I'll try another insurer as recommend by others on the board.
By the way, this is the cheapest quote Anglo Pacific quoted £3500 for 20ft without the lounge suite but £3800 with the lounge suite both using a 20ft container. I thought this was a bit much, £300 extra for a small lounge suite in our sole container!
Hope this helps.
