Just wondering if there are any recommendations for companies who will ship from Cornwall to Sydney?

It would need to be a shared container as Mum won't have a full containers worth but the bits she has will need packing by the shippers too. Need shippers who won't try and rip off a single old lady as I can't go back to the UK to help

Also are Letton Percival still the best for insurance?

Yes on insurance, and they just paid out for us on a claim so think they are great! I would say look at the major shippers as I think they are nationwide...

Are you allowed to take Cornwall away from England?

Kernow is NOT part of England, it never will be you English bast@rds!!!!! We would rather be Welsh.....oh....hold on.....Irish!!!

Whether you like it or not, you are attached to and run by your motherland. There is no escape, not even if someone is trying to shove the country in a container, you will not get through customs.

lol...a land of smugglers and warlocks!!! I actually have a great fondness for the place, lived there for a few years in a lovely fishing village when I was based at a Naval Air station there...even bought myself a nice thick jumper to sing along to the shanty's with!!

we have just (this week) been packed up by John Mason (going from Sarf Lundin to Melbun). They were incredibly professional and not bad, although we did have a full container and supposedly 4 days of packing. They guys did 4 half days, but it was over estimated I guess.

My husband used BJP brokers to find insurance and they were very competitive and installed cover as the packing commenced....we paid for it by debit card that day.

Yeah...special days out needed for that!!
