Re: What did you ship to NZ?
not as much as i wanted to!
just make sure you get female packers in - they will make much better use of space. I reckon if packers were female we would have fit a five bedroom house in a 20ft. as it was i had a garage load of stuff left and some very happy friends.
of course still have the guys there to do the lifting and sweaty stuff.

How do they get a car and motorbike in a container? silly question but do they just drive them in then pile every thing on top of them?..

Re: What did you ship to NZ?
That makes two of us!! Perhaps we can go into business together. How about Tat women. (We have loads of Tat men in Walsall who drive around collecting junk!! They once pinched my high chair. I had just got it out of the garage, and popped into the house for a minute. When i came back it had gone off the drive!!!

Re: What did you ship to NZ?
No , they put all the household goods in first then drive the car up ramps into the container. They then use fastenings to hold the car in place so it won't move around. Also I think some carriers build a wooden frame around the vehicle to prevent it moving. Only know this because we asked at a recent expo!!
