Guest claire261 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hello, We have just sent out 3 boxes Tea ctns with our personnel stuff, kids toys, hubby work gear etc on friday. Sent with Anglo Pacific. Rang them one day they sent boxes out following day and collected 3 weeks later. Cost us £80 per box and will arrive beginning of April. Rest of our stuff goes in container in March..Hope this helps. Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lui A xxx Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi, We only sent 10 boxes..!!...and used a company called U-Bag. We paid for the door to door service...and it worked out about £80 per box....but ultimately goes on weight. Boxes were collected on a Wednesday, we arrived in Perth on the Monday after...and then customs rang us on the Tuesday...!!... fab service..!!.. Hope this helps.. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lucy G Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thank u so much both of you. I know I'm thinking way ahead of myself as we won't be able to move til next yr probably but it is something we can't decide what is the best way. To only ship personal goods and start again or ship the lot? My main concern with shipping the lot is how to do live (ie sleep etc) in UK & Oz while waiting for stuff to arrive. We have 3 young children and really wonder how other people do it. You guys seem like you're both really close to moving how exciting!!! Has it been a quick process for you? Where are you headed? Thanks again for your help though. Lucy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lucy G Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Just another thought...how big are the boxes they send you so I can get some idea of how many we would need? Also can you fit a bmx in them or do you know of another way you can send bikes as my kids don't really want to leave them behind understandably. Many thanks again Lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
