I have a friend that is planning on moving to Australia soon from the U.S. and he needs to know who the good, reliable and fair-priced movers are. He won’t have a lot of things to move, but he still needs some things shipped there. I don’t know which city he is moving too, but I could find out. He plans on moving in October (I think). Thanks! What are some good moving companies to consider?
Hi I brought a 20′ shipping container and stored all my gear in it and packing it myself reselling the container on ebay latter and used 5 star shipping.I found their all about the same price really see link.Most people don’t take anything to start with selling[yard sales] before they leave if staying permanently due to the high cost of shipping and purchase new stuff is off set with the selling before leaving.
It costs a small fortune to move sadly!
When I moved I used Mayflower which I found to be a big mistake – they overcharged me by a lot, and once my stuff got here the recieving company (Nuss removals based in Sydney) said they would have shipped the same container by volume, not weight, saving me a couple thousand dollars.
Get all the quotes he can before hand, and sell as much as is feasable before moving. Much cheaper to sell furniture etc at a loss or give it away than spend $5 a pound or so to ship it, and good luck to him – hope he loves it here!
