costs on shipping
Hi to everyone.
Could anyone give us a rough idea on the cost to ship stuff oout.
Awaiting a few quotes but there seems to be a lot of people doing it and not sure on what size container to get.
How much stuff can you put in the containers?
Wondering if a half size on will do or whether i should go for the big one.
cheers

Re: costs on shipping
Hi I work in containers in the Uk and have asked for quotes to NZ 20' box would be approx £3500 a 40' box would be aprox £4500 the way to work it out would be to look at what your planning to take in each room then its easier to see how much room you need also how many bedrooms you have gives the removal men an idea of cost. we have a 2 bed house and we are not planning to take a lot so there is also the option of sharing a container. Which I have been told by Crown that it would be significantly cheaper.

Hi, I would recommend using an online site to calculate the size of your move. Try this http://www.pssremovals.com/volumeeffects.php?type=2 500cu ft is about half a container I think.

We on the other hand have a four bed house and are probably planning to take the house, kitchen sink as well!!!!
