All the best for Wednesday

Anyone know if a removal company would supply the boxes?

Re: Shipments into Brisbane
For anyone waiting for shipment
Ours arived in Brisbane on 11/11 and was cleared by customs and AQIS on 24/11. They pulled out some ornaments with seeds on and we told CROWN tyo destroy them (no cost to us). This allowed our shipmenmt to be delivered 30/11. The men arrived at 9.30 am on that day and unloaded all of our stuff, unpacked what I asked them to and placed everything where I advised. The rest of the stuff is left boxed in the garage, as we may move at the end of this fixed six month rental. Only 1 small bowl broken.
Would recomend Crown to anyone. All fees such as container cleaning and Aqis/customs inspections are included in their costing.

All in all Crown have been professional and true to their word at all times with shipping time estimates etc. the service at either side was also great and we had no additional fees to pay as they are all included in the original quote - we never even got any extra costs from customs.

Re: Shipments into Brisbane
For any of you waiting.
Our shipment arrived in Brisbane on the 5th of November. After numerous phone calls to International Movers and Shippers which is the company that PSS use this end we finally received our container today.
I must add here that PSS were fantastic although this end wasn't as good and felt a bit disappointed after the brilliant service at the UK end.
Oh the joy of a bed, sofa, washing machine and of course our PC. You dont realise how much you take for granted until you dont have it
We were charged $440.00 for Quarantine inspection, I was told that this was because we had a full container, I am going to question this as we actually only had a reefer container and anyway the only things that had been looked at were the obvious things such as bike, tool box, Xmas dec's so dont see why we had to pay $440.00 for 3 things to be inspected, would be interested to know what other's have been charged. The Jeyes cleaning obviously paid off as nothing was pulled up.
Right well now that I have set the PC up I had better carry on with the kitchen otherwise there will be no space for breakfast or making packed lunches in the morning. And then I am off to my bed, my glorious bed and not a lilo

Re: Shipments into Brisbane
[QUOTE=spalen]removal company's charge by the hour unless price already agreed so choose one thats close to you as you pay for them traveling to you at 99 dollars an hour to you and back to the depot,99 dollars is the average in Brisbane if you can help them as much as possible put all your box in your garage this makes things quicker best of luck
