Anybody on here shipped boxes to Australia instead of half or whole containers full?

We only want to take sentimental stuff like photos, books..., but nothing else.

I read about companys that do pallets and shrink wrap but have lost the details.

Most shipping companies will deal with part-container loads. There are also some which are recommended for smaller quantities, like Excess Baggage Co, and Seven Seas.

The pallet will still end up being containerised, it is the way of the worlds transport industry.........mm

it all goes into the container with every one elses stuff.they sell the cubic meteres if no one is paying for a full container .its called groupage.think of it like paying for a seat on the plane.one faimly member one seat.ten family members ten seats.a hell of a lot of family members all the seats.

we used excess-baggage.com - flew the boxes and picked them up from the jetta office in Sydney. Much quicker than a boat

also personal porter do boxes

~Thanks for this post Dinner-Dash........I was just about to ask the very same thing!
Can anyone give a approx (I know it's going to be VERY approx) cost to just taking a few boxes of clothes and pics etc?

I've had a couple of quotes from them, any good? If you collect them from the dept do they still clear them through customs for you?

Go to www.excessbaggage.com and do an on-line quote............mm
