HELP!!! Container Dirty
Our stuff arrived in Freemantle on the 8th of November and
i have just received a phone call from Kent removals in Perth.
They want me to fork out $275 plus gst because quarantine said the outside of my container is covered in soil,and i have to pay them to clean it before it can be inspected
Is this normal or are they pulling a fast one

Re: HELP!!! Container Dirty
We paid an insurance amount (I think it was 10 UK pounds) so that if AQIS did say our container was dirty, then the company (Doree Bonner) would swallow the cost.
I'm afraid if you don't insure against it, then it's your duty to pay for it. It should be mentioned in your paperwork, and if it isn't, I'd want to know why the company in the UK didn't inform you about it before hand. They should have done.
