Shipping recs - not much big stuff - London to Brisbane
Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations for a decent shipping company to go from London to Brisbane?
We're currently in a 2 bedroom flat so not too much stuff. And we're not taking any beds, sofas or white goods or anything like that. But we will be taking a few larger things - coffee table and a couple of other bits of matching furniture (side table etc) and 2 bikes. So not sure if the companies that tend to do smaller scale shipping would be suitable still?
Any thoughts? We're not off for a few months yet but would like to get some companies round for quotes.
Thanks in advance!

Anglo Pacfic or John Mason. Used both and the were pretty good, they both use agents in OZ.
Crown - ok, we used them as they did door-to-door (same company in both UK & OZ) but there OZ operation cocked up and sent goods via groupage and not the Sole Use Container we were quoted and paid for. As a result some stuff got damaged/lost/ended up with someone else's goods. Had a fight with them to get comp for damaged goods as I want prepared to claim on my insurance as it was their cockup.
