Sending just ONE box to Oz, how should I do it?
Seen a few threads on here and as always the SEARCH never works for me!!
Very long story but basically want to send clothes out to be there when we arrive in Oz, in order to limit cost of EXTRA luggage!! :scared:
So basically want to send a standard size removals box to Oz with clothes in it, what is the best way to do it??
Also would the cost be on size or weight or both??
And dare I say what about customs??

) and a removals box. Both cost about £120 and were there at my wife's cousin's house in Sydney within about 10 days. They key was the weight, if you go over 20 kgs the cost goes through the roof. Customs was no bother, both items were opened and resealed...Hope it helps...

Seven Seas are good. Seem more expensive than Rodders one but the weight is higher. We used them (by ship not air) for a couple of boxes earlier in the year and were well pleased with the service. No issues with customs either.
Excess Baggage have good reports too.

From what I've heard Excess Baggage would be a good bet for you. I'm sure I've see a cost calculator on their website, so might be worth a look: http://www.excessbaggage.com/
