We need to store our stuff from our 20ft container for one month.
We were a bit shocked at the price so thought I'd share it with you so you can budget for it in case you also have to store you stuff.
Storage handling fee: $450
Storage rental $73 per week

Hi There
As a basis for comparison, we are also storing (for 12 months) in Melbourne. Our shipping was performed by PSS in the UK and handed over to OSS in Melbourne. Half a 20 foot container.
Handling Fee: $200
Monthly Storage: $126

Try and find "Kent" storage and shipping - they are brilliant.

Our stuff is currently being shipped by John Masons, (kent moving) and should arrive 22nd July. Do you know how long it would take to clear customs? Our stuff will also need to go into storage, we don't arrive in Perth until 16th August, and probably will need to leave stuff in storage until end of September.

Now you're going to laugh - it is Kent we're using!
To ship and store our stuff has cost over $12000. Luckily sponsoring company has paid but we still lost out because none of the relocation money was left over for us claim our flights back.
