sending boxes from Perth. Help needed!!
 

Hi there.
Can anyone give me some idea of the cheapest way to send about 8 boxes from Perth back home.
Help and experience would be much appreciated!
Thanks a lot

depends if you are travelling back and how long you can wait for the boxes

by Perth, I guess you mean Perth (WA) rather than Perth (Scotland)?!

and home is UK?

so, assuming you mean Perth (WA) - if you can wait a few weeks for the boxes, then send them sea-freight
if you cant wait, and have a flight back to the UK, then go to ExportAir near to the international air terminal and send them back air freight - having gone to all the air freight places in Perth these were the cheapest guys I could find, and have used them for several years now, and their service is really reliable.

Thanks for such a quick reply. Yes I do mean Perth (WA) and home is UK. Didn´t quite make myself clear on that. Sorry. :D
It doesn´t matter how long the boxes take to get back, I just need the cheapest way, that´s why I was thinking more on the lines of sea freight. It´s only really books, China (and other houshold stuff). Anybody know any addresses of companies in Perth I can get in touch with?

I'll move this to the UK forum as there are several people there who have shipped back from Aus :)

I was quoted $1,600 for 23 boxes and a couple of items of furniture.
If you can get a quote with Kent removals, you are very welcome to have them in my container. I will be sending mine in about 4-6 weeks.
I am near Mandurah.

Thanks ever so much for the offer Whisky, but I think that is going to be too soon. Where in the UK are you shipping the stuff to? I might contact you again if we can get everything sorted out sooner.
Good luck with the move.
