We are just about to book a date for the container and just wanted to double check with you lovely lot on how long your container actually took to get to NZ?? in the blur they reckon 6 - 8 weeks, is this a true timeline?

we were told anywhere between 10 and 12 depending on how long customs keep hold of it. now that we only taking part container who knows but not bothered really as will have to replace stuff we sold when we get there anyway

We were told 10 but it took 7 I think. A lot depends on logistics and where it stops en route I suppose.

Hi,

We were told 6-8 weeks and thats pretty much what it took.
From memory, I think we were given an arrival date.

We were told about 8-10 weeks at the outset. It depends on whether you have a full container to yourself or a shared one. We had a shared one and from the time it left the UK to the time its delivered tomorrow it has been 10 weeks BUT it did not leave the UK until we had been here 5 weeks :curse:

We would have quite happily paid the extra for our own container if we had known it would take this long. So overall we have been 15 weeks without our belongings.

when we were quoated it was on a full 20ft container and was 10 to 12 weeks (just incase you think im talking bout the part container we now taking) which we have been told 84 days is how long it will take

we will see

We sold all our furniture before we left the UK so we could replace it all here but its the necessities like kettle, cups, cutlery, plates, dishes, bakeware, saucepans, hoover, microwave, bed, bedding, tin opener, bottle opener.... the list goes on. All this we had to duplicate whilst waiting for our shared container to arrive. Looks like I'll be selling on trade-me in the not too distant future!!

We were told 6 weeks from the point it left the UK port and our container arrived in just that, 6 weeks. It sat at the UK port for 10 days or so until we gave the go ahead for it it to leave as my husband left for NZ two months before me. We used Curtiss in Portsmouth.

When you have your bill of lading number, you will be able to track the container.
