Default Re: packing boxes

I'm moving out to perth in two weeks and am calling on BE members to help me again please!! I want to send just one box over to perth with photos etc in, 'voovit' offer a good deal I think about £65 for one box the size of a large suitcase, holding up to 30kgs, I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the local costs will be like, when we collect the box from the customs area at the port? any help gratefully received!!

Have you looked into taking it with you on the plane as part of your baggage, doesn't matter if it's a box as long as it's not over, I think 32 kg.

Don't you have to pay a fortune for it then though as excess baggage? we've already got 80kg's between us, but I just don't think it's going to be enough

Myabe ask the airling how much for accompanied baggage. I wouldn't know how much it costs. but if it costs $65 to ship might be worth asking the airline.

Airlines will usually charge by the kilo for excess bags on a flight - often $30 or more per kilo
