Re: Shipping Pointers??
My prices from Pickfords, very reasonable IMO for door-to-door service. Good international coverage, good insurance and less time to wait for a consignment to build up if you are using only part of a container. They will also give me free storage in UK for 4-6 weeks to allow me to find a rental and VERY reasonable charges after that. They will also pack pretty much everything. Costs I was quoted:
180 cu ft (enough for all personal belongings, loads of books, kitchen equipment, some audio hifi, mountain bike, paintings): £1,500
580 cu ft (above plus three piece suite, dining table, bed and other furniture): £3,700
20 ft container: £5,500
Pickfords have also provided some very useful documentation which covers:
Customs procedures and points to be mindful of regarding your destination shipping country
Essential Preparation
Insurance
Paperwork
Packing
Transportation options
Useful checklists

I am moving to KL with husband from a good sized two-bedroom house in London, before I hear back from any shipping companies with quotes, your post was very useful to give an indication of a price range.
I was just wondering if you were moving with just yourself or a partner (with the items you listed for each price)? I am struggling to visualise how many cu ft our stuff will add up to at this point.
Also did your quotes all include insurance?
Any other tips are hugely appreciated.
Many thanks,
Parfait

Hi, there was just me, but there was a lot of stuff. Insurance was about £150 on top IIRC.
