shipping
Hi all
Just received our first quote for shipping all our worldly possessions door to door from deepest Suffolk to near Newcastle in NSW.
Total volume was given as 460cu feet & the quote was £2400(excl insurance)
Just wondered if this is reasonable?

Not sure about technicality of cubic feet, but we have 20ft container (fits our contents from3 bedroom house), and this is from Newbury to Brisbane and cost was £3000 plus insurance.
Quote was with PSS and from my own experiences they seem generally one of the cheapest and feedback seems ok.
Good luck with the move

Don't get ripped off with that insurance - we are paying 1.5% with these guys thanks to someone on here - Ian I think who posted the link. You don't have to take out their insurance - although they certainly make it sound like you do!

Sounds excessive to me - got quotes for 500 cu ft for around £2K mark.

Also - I am presuming that the rep came and looked at your stuff to get that size estimate? I only ask cos ours was an estimate done off a list we sent them (no time for a visit) and the actual volume came in half of the estimated volume.
We got some dosh back though.
