Hi,
We used Allied Pickfords in January this year, Wiltshire to Melbourne. I think we were quoted for approx 800ft but we went for sole use of a 20ft container. We paid just under £3000 including insurance. The company were excellent at both ends, we have no complaints and would certainly recommend them.

If we need our bikes fumigated in Oz (better not after I scrub them!) then it'll be around $500.
Anybody shipping roughly the same size had any other prices?
Cheers

We had a quote from Pickfords for exactly the same volume, but ours came in at £3500!!. We're in Herts - I wonder if they bump up their prices for people in the South...

For that amount of money you could get a container to yourself!
