Last Minute Jitters and Container Costs to the UK.
With less than 3 months to go my wife is getting apprehensive that she will miss (my!) family once we are in Australia.
We have just returned from living abroad for 5 years and so the novelty of living with family has been quite positive. Practically impossible to wait longer for the move though, so we either do it now or don't do it at all.
Decided to go ahead but always need to know the escape plan in case we really are not happy in Australia (although we have said that we will do the two years as a minimum).
So.. question: can anyone give me a recent quote for a fully inclusive price for a container back from Australia to the UK (door to door if possible). I'd like to factor this in so that we can be prepared!!
Incidentally - for anyone in a similar position - we have decided to keep our house in the UK as a just in case. If we are (as I suspect we will be) very happy in Australia, we'll sell further down the line.

Wow, can't believe that, we actually paid more than that 11 years ago! That's a bargain!
