Default Sending stuff by plane

I have had a search but not sure what to think.

I have say 3 or 4 boxs (tea chest size) of stuff in the UK I would like to get over here (Sydney) but I dont want to wait 3 months plus.

Any ideas on est costs and places to look at on the web the fly stuff over?

Try the excess baggage company. We bought about a 20kg box over for a reasonable price. Will try to dig out the price. Wasn't over 200 quid though!

dhw210770 is an unknown quantity at this point
Smile Re: Sending stuff by plane

We sent 100kg with Excess Baggage at Gatwick Airport. It costs us £535 which included insurance, handling fees etc. It took a week to get here and then we had to customs & quarantine clearance fee of $130.

Contact Qantas's freight department. A friend moved most of his stuff this way - was only a little more expensive than shipping.
