hgvchris Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hi we are looking at moving back to the uk early next year and wondered has anyone had any quotes to ship a 20ft container back recently? Also any recommendations on what company's to use? cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedolly Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 We did it 2 years ago, I cant remember the exact cost but it was over $8000, what a waste - we came back and had to bring it all back again! That was with Transglobal, think they are part of Chess now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest4575 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm just starting to look at shipping a few boxes of personal stuff from Perth to Luxembourg, absolute maximum 2 cubic meters, and with a value of about $2000. I've just been quoted about $1500 by Transglobal - hardly seems worth it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 How did you go Chris? Which company did you use and at what sort of cost? Thanks. June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plimthing Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 on the poms in perth facebook page a woman recently posted she had paid $3000 and another $5000. So i guess you should ask around for quotes, $8000 sounds high but it is Perth i guess and we know what the locals are like for making a quick buck.

louisef Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Have you tried Pickfords - they've been the most competitive going from the UK - but they have a Perth office so you would think they readily go the other way too. How long have you been in Perth ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June Hi June today is actually delivery day so will let you know later if we have any breakages etc lol! We went with crown in the end as most quotes were pretty much the same give or take $100, it has cost us a total of $8700 with the insurance but $7500 without! So far they have been very helpful and kept me up to date with goings on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thank you all for your feedback... Chris, hope the unpacking goes well. Do let us know how this goes. Did you go for the 20ft container? Your quotes seem a bit expensive for 20ft?? Apart from Crown and Pickfords, who else would you choose to quote? louisef, we've been here in Perth for just over 7 years. What's your situation?
