Unaccompanied Baggage...
... no, this is not me going out for a night on the town without MarkMyWords 
What I am asking is this:
A few years ago, I sent a large, heavy suitcase back from NZ to the UK as 'unaccompanied baggage' (via Jupiter Air Freight, I think). It cost about 40 quid, which seemed like a good deal.
Does anyone know if one can do this from the UK to Oz? And roughly how much it is?
(If it can be done, I have an evil plan to get my lovely MIL to send a couple of suitcases of clothes, manchester etc over, a couple of weeks after we've left).
TIA!
Anya.

We did it from Oz to UK when we came back in 2000. Two enormous backpacks, about 40kg all up. Cost $110 for excess baggage. We did ours at the airport with Qantas (who we were flying with). Just turned up at the freight depot prior to checking in, off-loaded the excess, paid the dosh then went to the terminal to check in. Easy.
YOu can definitely do it the other way as we have mates who shifted their 2 years of accumulated cr*p back to Oz with them last year. I think they used the Excess Baggage Company too.

Thanks everyone. I'll give Excess Baggage a call. If I get any useful cost quotations out of them, I'll post the figures.
Cheers,
