Can't help sorry, just going to watch this post 'cos I'd like to save some money shipping our gear back.

just wondered if anyone that has moved back to the uk still watches the forum and can offer advice

There're lots of folks who've gone back but they used removalists to pack their stuff up. Tres expensive too!

mandtooz

yes we have thought about this too, as customs uk end not as bad as oz end! so we were thinking we could do it ourselves too!

need to save the pennies!

think we have sorted the DIY doggy! hoping it all goes to plan now!

goodluck

A friend told me you can also take a pet on a uk domestic flight as accompanied baggage for about £30 instead of paying the whopping price of pet courier from London to any other UK airport.

Just got dogs done and its about $97 per dog for rabies injection. Blood Test $260 each

Using Blue Cross to ship dogs back, all inclusive of container etc and import duties $3,400 for the two..

Found out for Rachel to ship two moggies back separate boxes etc $2,400..for the two

I'd rather use a vet Chris Preau in Vincent Street Perth, great guy, (gorgeous voice - French) (Ask traceyW ) Luvvley jubbley......

I would be worried I didnt get all the domcuments right

i presume your doggies are small? i say that because i have golden retriever and iv been quoted alot more than that for one doggie i did get lots of quotes too, versus about 1700 for doing it on my own, as for paperwork, i have arrange to fax all docs to james cargo (uk end) for checking once i have all the necessary bits and bobs.

One westie and one rotti x... Its the same procedure just the cost of the container is a bit more, lady said didnt matter how many dogs actually going back as the import documents are the same price for 1 or more..

Hi everyone well the quote is is in kent say i cannot self pack but they do a door to door so we dont have to lift a bat,$7998 and if i take my motor bike it will be $9153.
they can also do the insurance at 3.5% of the total value of the load but i think letton percivil back in the uk is cheaper.
hope this is of help to some one,i will also be ringing around to see the competition.
