How Much Notice to give a Shipping Company
 
Hi All

I have finally got my PR and am flying out to NZ on 12th Feb. :thumbsup:

When getting quotes etc from shipping companies, how much notice do they generally need to pack and ship your stuff. In other words if I agree on the quote given to me is 3 to 4 weeks enough time for them to pack and ship our stuff.

Thanks

David

Pickfords advised me on Friday a couple of weeks notice so they can organise crews, containers, space on ship etc, the longer the better obviously though

Hi,

Our stuff went last week - We only booked it all a couple of weeks before they atually came out to us and they took 2 days to pack and load the container. :thumbsup:
