Re: to ship or not to ship...that is the question
When I got my quotes, I asked the shippers to include what their costs were per cubic metre. When I looked at the cost of shipping a fridge, it was cheaper to buy a new one. Meant I left a lot of bulky things behind (sold them), and had lots of new things when I arrived!
return to australia.....sold nearly everything and shipped some boxes... lots of the stuff i wish i had never bought with me......if you are going to start new life start with everything new.....it's not worth it i don't think...we used the money from selling stuff in uk to replace here.... it's an australian hobby to have garage sales and people selling everything in there houses often....be adventurous...it's much more fun... you will sell something you wish you hadn't and ship something you wish you hadn't......we moved into an unfurnished rental and within a couple of weeks we had a house full and car....it doesn't matter what it's all like...it doesn't have to be perfect.... there is always ikea to go to!!!!!

We used Robinsons, based in Darlington. Were really good and would definately recommend again.
