Re: Removals to Brisbane

Re: how much did your shipping cost this year?
3500 pounds for 20ft container with Pickfords in January, plus $370 customs fee and then $210 for some stuff going to quarantine and getting cleaned. I sold my car, but others have brought there's and said it has worked out much cheaper than buying.

Doree Bonner for me too, 2.5 years ago.
Had a few minor breakages and insurance coughed up without fuss.
4 bed house - 40' container Kent to Brisbane = £6k from memory

Re: Removals to Brisbane
Our stuff arrives at Brisbane port tomorrow (am so excited it's nearly here), but we've used PSS £3998 to ship + £300 import tax in Oz, they were very good at UK end, will let you know how the stuff is when gets here though.

Got Britannia coming tomorrow, so I'll let you know... thinking about taking the car this time, and definitely taking the motorbike (OH's pride and joy!)

Re: Mechanics tools shipping
I have done a search but not too much on tool boxes this size.
I am a kia and peugeot master tech so have a fair amount of tools.
Just looking to see what other people have paid for theres. I have a price of about £600 sea freight seems good to me.
My tool box is 5ft x 5ft x 1.5ft and tool box alone is about 300kgs i think maybe more
Has anyone shipped a box this size and roughly what price I am looking at paying. Not sure if i am going to get charged more if the weight is heavier.
Thanks

All tools have to be spotless, no oil/dirt or you will pay cleaning fee's this end.
Where are you heading, I have an excellent contact in Perth for Auto Techs.
