Shipping personal items but no furniture - any recommendations.
Hi,
I am trying to find a firm who will ship a small volume of items (Yorkshire to Melbourne)
I am taking some personal belongings with me, but no furniture. I would guess about 3-4 tea chests in volume, although I'm still sorting!
Can anyone recommend a company that could help?
Also, do I need an accurate assessment of volume before I proceed?
Thank you in advance for any advice.

I always use Anglo Pacific in Manchester, used them 4 times now and always easy to deal with and reasonable prices.

When I moved we packed 12 suitcases and paid British Airways 35 quid per suit case. Not sure if the airlines still do such a rate. We flew BA because of their 35 quid rate.
