Loads of threads on this just do a search on removals and loads will come up.

Hope this helps.;)

We used Crown, all our stuff arrived in one piece and they were really professional... Couldn't recommend them enough. We are keeping everything at OH sister's in Sydney until we get there in August (hopefully!)

We used Allied Pickfords based in Bournemouth, we used a shared 20 ft container, Door to door Pool to Perth our stuff was packed on the 2nd April and got here end of June approx 10 weeks. We paid approx £2100 including their insurance. Couldn't fault the teams of packers and admin staff either side they were very professional from start to finish.

Good Luck

We used PPS to Adelaide and were very happy with them.
My sister used PSS to move to Perth and the local agent they use (Kent Removals) were awful, they dropped boxes of pots on her driveway and broke them plus damaged other items this end and had strapped some items to the outside of their truck to deliver them!!
Also you can sometimes play one quote off against another if you find one company you prefer.
