Shipping With Tea Chests
Hi All
We are moving to Brisbane in July and aren't taking all of our stuff.
I have heard of some people shiping out a few Tea Chests instead of a container and I would like to know if anyone can give me details of costs and time it takes for the stuff to get there.
Any usefull contacts would be appreciated.
Cheers

Re: Shipping With Tea Chests
Hi,
I am also moving to Brisbane with just personal belongings.
I have had a quote from seven seas for 15 t-chest size boxes and10 book boxes as I have 3 children and think we will probably fill these (toys, games, CD's etc.)
They quoted £1014. This included supply of boxes, bubble wrap, tape and marker pen. Also included collection charge and quarantine inspection charges. Paid an £80 deposit although it quotes £30 on their website. Ithink that was because of the amount of boxes I wanted.
I don't know how long they will take to arrive though.
Hope this helps.
Tracey.

Re: Shipping With Tea Chests
we have sent our belongings (primarily clothes, books, cds, utensils) in 7 cartons through PSS. We paid £340 + insurance. That included delivery of flatpack cartons to Manchester and collection of cartons by TNT from Manchester for Croyden (PSS's office).
