Shipping Quotes for 20ft Container
Just in case anyone is interested:
Recent quotes for a 20ft container from Bristol - Melbourne:
Robinsons - £3,592
Doree Bonner - £3,612 (but sent through a 10% discount - so the cheapest)
Bishops Move - £4,260
John Mason - £3,956
Never got to see PSS - they changed the appointment twice and then the rep was on holiday for ages.
We are choosing between the first two - I think they are cheaper because they have local depots.
We'll let you know how we get on!
Cheers

We got £3400 from Excess and they give us a discount if we have any last minute bags to go. They have conters in all the Heathrow Gatwick and Manc airport terminals.
Rep was impressive with some real whizz estimating computer so we're confident there wont be any extra to pay for.
Fingers xd. Just got 2 sell the old house now...
LOL
)BTW the PSS and Anglo reps said that 7 seas are not bonded so don't use them....

Would you know if your container was insulated. I work in shipping and we set up insulated containers for jobs that are being used for " personal effects " .

Apparently, rule of thumb is: light stuff on top and heavy stuff on bottom which ironically means that in heavy seas that it's the light stuff that might well end up on the "bottom"....
Not that I want to worry you or anything...
