Default What is Not alot of stuff to Ship

What if your only planning on taking 20 or so 3 ft X 3ft X 3 ft boxes ?
definately not worth a container

how can you get them to Oz ?

Hi ya Stephen

Thats all we are taking. We used John Mason and it cost about £360. They still came and packed everything for us. Our total shipment only came to 45 cubes....

Hope that helps

Maybe surface mail Stephen. We are in the same position as you just wanting to send a few boxes. Hubby reckons surface mail, but we haven't got round to checking it out properly as yet. I hope there is someone that knows as it would be usefull to know.

We are in the process of packing up at the mo, so should know soon how many boxes we have.

Thanks for the info - I had thought a shipping company wouldn't be interested in a few boxes, but I can see from Hels message that she is doing the same. £360 doesn't seem too bad.

I've used this lot for Oz to UK trips - might be worth looking if they offer the service in the opposite direction?
