Right well im moving back to the UK in 25 days and ill be staying in university accommodation, therefore ill need to find a shipping company that will ship a single box (with a few clothes, xbox ect) from Australia to UK.
However all the shipping companies that ship overseas seem to only do major relocation moves.

Can anybody recommend a company that will be suitable for my needs?

Thanks x

Could you just take it as excess, and pay the airline, I think that is a possiblilty, if it is only one box, you can look at your airline website and see what they charge, it usually goes by weight I think, hopefully someone with experience can step in here and give advice.

yeh good idea, i just checked it out though and for the type of weight i would be looking to take costs about $1500 so ill keep looking thank you anyway!

charleygirl

wow thats a lot of money!!!! How much does it weigh then, sorry I thought you meant just a box.....you know a box one person could lift, sorry.....
Good luck.
Lucky you moving back!

This does not seem right at all

a zero is wrong or something

From the US on Delta, the 2nd piece is $50 and then the third (up to 10 pieces) is $200

I thought that was a massive rip off as I used to fly with 3 for free

1500 cannot be right

How about an upgrade to business which might have 2 or 3 pieces free ?

Call em though dont guess online - that 1500 is just not sounding correct

The other option is to use the post office - I can send a computer from the pacific coast of the US to the UK for £120

They are the cheapest way

I am looking at www.jetta.com.au at the moment. I have started a thread asking if anyone has used them for some feedback.

actually that computer figure is wrong - its USD $100 for a computer from Seattle all the way to Leeds - post office

VERY EXPENSIVE !

The post office is cheaper

NOT FROM THAILAND! So please - do not assume, everyone lives where you are!!! Post office, fly everything, and the cost is astronomical! (350 bahts a Kilo! that is £7.00) dontheturner
