Re: shipping quotes for 40ft
Our quote from Crown for 20ft sole use 'reefer' conmtainer; Brentwood to Adelaide, including insurance, (which includes mould & mildew, pairs & sets and something else I forget) = £5200
Haggled and got it down to £4,800 (£400 saving good me thinks for just one 'phone call).
Every confidence in them - very professional thus far.
PSS came in lower - but this was for a 'self-quote' - no visit from rep - too insignificant a shipment.... Not v. impressive.

that's what it costs for a small, 2 bed home (no beds) but otherwise every darned pot and pan. To be packed and shipped and arrive safely.
My friend moved their 3 bed home just 7 miles down the road in the Uk and paid GBP1800 (and they packed themselves!).
At least I am making a commitment to Australia (i.e. I can't afford to do this twice!).
