Bilbo Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hi all, Finally got my Visa Granted this morning and now need to get Flights ASAP as my employer wants me to start work in 2 weeks! 1. Any one know of any good Flight deals at the moment , also is it better to get a return? seems that it is only about £30 per person more to get a return for 10 months time. also heard that you can change the return date on these quite easily by about 3 months. 2 Shipping a pallet or large box to Perth. We have already shipped our goods and they actually arrived back in June ( took abit of a gamble) but over the last 2 months we have amassed extra items that i thought i could just pop in a Create and send it over. Any recommendations ? Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gar374 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 We got Qatar flights for a good price one way through IOM (international organisation for migration). The help people migrate. Might be worth dropping them an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budeman Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 We booked out flights last week - arriving 18th Sept! Found them on Kayak and ended up booking them through Tripsta with Singapore airlines for £570 each per adult - one way. Didn't look at a return price though to be honest.

Bilbo Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks Guys, didn't know about the IOM. Will give them a look. Also what do you do about a TFN Number ? I just tried to apply but as i am not in OZ they will not allocate it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried to apply but as i am not in OZ they will not allocate it ? Apply as soon as you get here. It should take no longer than 10 business days to come through. You can start work without it.

Any recommendations ? Many Thanks 5 years ago when I was moving out here I sent 75KG in 2 boxes through UPS. They had a saver option. It didn't cost much at all and as far as I can remember arrived in 1 week. The company I made the booking through was Transglobal Express.

Bilbo Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Cheers Guys, I tried the UPS route but it think its a bit pricey. Got quoted £860.00 for 1 pallet 1mx1mx1m and paid just over £1200.00 for a dedicated 20ft !! Madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verystormy Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 All of the major moving companies will ship your things. You don't need a container. We shipped just 10 boxes. Alternativly look at movecube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
