The Move to Oz
Can anyone recommend any companies that ship boxes fairly cheaply and have found them to be good.
I'm going over on my own and not taking over any furniture etc. I'm be sending over clothes, CDs and DVDs and thats about it.

Seven Seas are pretty good in my opinion. Others are bound to disagree but they gave us a great service for some boxes we'd left with friends.

Hi there.
Like Moneypen we used 7 seas just for boxes. Our "tea chest" sized boxes worked out around £45 each with a weight allowance of 40kg which we did not come near to, just mix the box contents of light & heavy stuff.
This is the 3 month shipping option and if you want a box in 5 days (appx £250 = 30 kg max)it is very expensive. We sent 1 additional box with parcelforce and it worked out a little cheaper (£200 =7 days).
Hope this helps James.
