Pickfords
Bit the bullet and rang Pickfords today to find out if our shipment has left the Uk yet as they took it all on the 14th July, was told that all our belongings are on a ship called Columbus New Zealand and it went on the 24th July and is hoping to dock in Brisbane on the 27th August!!!!
it'll be there before we are!

Hi Rach,
Are you able to track the shipment yourself via the net?
I know Biggy & Gryff track theirs.
Your move is going really fast now isn't it? Still, I've got my fingers crossed for all the loose ends to be tied up without a hitch

Just to put Pickfords users minds at rest. We used Pickfords it took about 10-11 weeks from collecting our stuff in England to us receiving it in W.A. All of it was in perfect condition, not even one breakage. They did a superb job, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They were our cheapest quote too.

Hiya
We used pickfords last week to move us to Melbourne. They were fab. Very professional service. We were told by the rep it should be 12 weeks ish. When the container came the shipping note was to leave Tilbury on the 8th August and arrive in Melbourne on the 30th !! Bit quicker than we had hoped if we haven't found a house by then we'll put in into storage.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
