Default Shipping from India

Hi,

We are ready to make the big shift. And we have been sifting through the household articles deciding what to take etc.

We have come up with some articles which I feel should be left behind and bought new in Oz ,while wife differs.

1) My kid's new bicycle.( She is really attached to this one!!).Weighs 10 Kgs
2) Blender, Microwave Oven.
3)Grinder(This is mostly used by south indians for preparing Idli,dosa etc)

The shipping cos I contacted are quoting sky high rates ( AUD 30 per KG!!)

Any ideas?? Please share.

Gordon, get some more quotes! Try places like Pickfords etc, there must be some places in India that do removals that arent at a per kg rate? That seems ludicrous, you dont even pay that much for excess baggage I dont think!

I dont have much experience we just shipped everything in a container with Pickfords & had no probs, but Im sure someone else will be able to give more advice. Mr Mover is very in the know about that sort of stuff. Hopefully someone can help.
