Hello,
We are due to arrive in Perth on 9th Jan and it is going to take 12 weeks to ship our furniture over there. I would like to ship our belongings as soon as possible as we would rather be without over here where we have friends and family to gatecrash rather than there where we will have nobody.

Pickfords have told me that I need to have an address in Perth before they can ship our things and I cant get a rental address so far in advance. Is there anyone who can offer any advice or tell me how you managed to get around this. Cheers!

I have heard of someone shipping with the delivery address to be advised. Maybe someone on here knows which company and will be kind enough to post it.

Why not check with the other shipping companies in the meantime to see if they will do this.
