Default Shipping companies that include stairs

We're moving to Sydney in May and have started to look into quotes for shipping. 10ft worth of stuff at most, a few bookshelves, lots of boxes. BUT we live on the fourth floor of a block of flats in London with no lift.



Already we've found a few companies that only do kerb to kerb once we look into the terms and conditions. Any recommendations for shippers who will do actual door to door without charging a fortune for it?


Move cube not an option as we need someone to pack up and move it for us.

Some will and charge for it. Tbh I would get a man with a van and get them to take it to a move cube depot if there is one near.
Bear in mind same applies to other end. Standard delivery is two storey max and good access, we were charged extra as it was a long drive and they couldn’t get the truck up. Fair enough as it did take them longer to ferry everything.

Thanks, I'll look into this option. We'll be getting quotes from Pickfords, AP, Crown etc as well to see how it all compares. Husband's work is paying but the funding is not unlimited
