The company is pretty much a new start up.
Shipping containers for now but will be looking to move bulk in the future.
I'm responsible for the whole supply chain including the packaging. Always glad of any contacts if you're in across that sort of business Ben.

Right then, I've heard from our container company today and our container has been emptied in to a warehouse and is going to customs on Tuesday 1st Nov. It docked last Friday so has taken 1 week and 1 day to get it unloaded, then another 4 days waiting for customs.Customs clearance is happening quickly so this time next week we should have our stuff.

Re: Shipments into Brisbane
Don't want to put a downer on you Marie but customs is just the first step.
AQIS (quarantine) look at it after them and that is usually the operation that takes the most time.
There are certain things they always check but if the container has been packed by individuals rather than professional removal companies they tend to check it more thoroughly.

your freight handler this end should make an appt with AQIS for a day looking ahead and the aQIS inspection is 20 minutes. They may offer to attend for you or you can attend , they would probably do it for you.

Re: Shipments into Brisbane
AQIS shouldn't be too bad, as they have appointments booked, whereas Customs work at their own speed. My stuff was 7 weeks waiting for Customs, 25 hours in AQIS - the importers told me it would be through in 1-2 days once Customs had done their bit.

Customs took 4-6 weeks with our stuff.
