Pommie Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hi All Finally hit the 20 week countdown yesterday (OMG)!!! Could anyone let me know how much it cost them to ship a 20ft or a 40ft container from UK to Perth please ?? I am hoping a 20ft will be big enough, however we are a large family and if it was cost effective we could always buy more furniture in the UK and ship it across.... Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wan2go Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 My 20ft container arrived a couple of weeks ago and cost just over £4k (sole use) with insurance. That was with PSS, plus a $480 customs fee. I have yet to put in my insurance claim...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktg Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I've just had quotes from 4 companies for a 20ft container - they vary from £3,200 to £3,850. Was PPS not that good Wan2go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wan2go Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 The £4k included insurance. A few things are broken/damaged, but I have nothing to compare this with!! And I don't intend on moving very far ever again.......it has taken so much effort to get here! Lets just say maybe my expectations were too high.....you pay a professional company to pack and ship your personal posessions, if they can't do that properly, maybe they are in the wrong job. I made a big point of putting a lot of wooden things in a box marked with a big 'W' and found this has been packed in a box marked 'China & Glass'. Unfortunately the small things damaged had not been itemised by me on my insurance list. If you value it, make sure you list it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pommie Posted October 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hi All We have had a number of removal companies come round to quote. For anyone else making the move, the price range was between GBP3,800 - GBP 4,800 for a 20ft container allowing for two pieces of furniture to be crated (for protection).... Thats moving from the East Midlands to Perth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
