we need to get a price to shift our household goods to brisbane from ayr. its enough to use up quarter of a 20ft container as we have decided to bin most of the wooden stuff like beds and tables etc.. so , does anyone work for a company that can do this ? mostly white goods,sofas and kids toys etc. not enough to justify a full container.. any help would be appreciated.. we leave circa middle june..

what would scooby do

Rab, you need to reserve rest of container to ship over tunnock's tea cakes, shortbread and some good single malts...

rabskyline

ive been asked to keep the container idea for the scooby boys over there and fill it with parts !

what would scooby do

Good idea, would have thought Oz had plenty of tuning bits (APS etc) - I first drove an impreza in Melbourne..

..mind you I guess importing bits is expensive still out there..

we used excess international luton to brisbane
they came round measured everything it was well over half a container
cost 2300
took 11 weeks
no breakages
dont forget no point taking your fridge they cant handle the heat here you will need an aussie one

rabskyline

been told our fridges will be fine ? hmmm and 2300 seems a lot for what we are taking considering i can get a container for 1600 quid .. i would have oz fees to pay on top...

wakeboardar

you may find that for 1600 you will have to box and pack yourself
if you going to get a container may as well fill we new home stuff from cosco as most stuff is way more expensive here
tv`s may work here depends on make
dvd and home cinemas will not unless you can decode it
take a chance will you fridge, I meet loads of uk guys whose fridges pack up within 6 months
also you will have to sort out all you own custom clearance and move from port to home
2300 for the service we got was very cheap and you would hard pushed to match it they measure the stuff and charge you per cm2
we had 3 guys packing all day at dunstsable
and 2 at brissy
good luck with it

like godzilla "out from the depths ! " lol... been here nearly 2yr now... loving it ! we went with yer guys express international ! done ok but dropped my brand new telly in front of my eyes when packing lol... so cost me the 2300 but got a grand back on the telly through the insurance ! so not a bad deal as the telly was insured through house too !

anyway, thanks for the help ! we're in caloundra so any news on a scooby for sale, let me know ! and hi to the rest of ya's reading this tripe ! lol...

Someone was asking for you in FC the other day funnily enough Has it took you 2 years to work out that you can use ScoobyNet in Oz

Are you still an alci??

rabskyline

nah, but it sickened me to death not having one so best to keep away or i'd end up mugging some sod in the local shopping mall carpark for his car !!

need to drop in and stir the **** in FC then hey ?

rabskyline

YES, STILL A BOOZEBAG !

kinda weird....dont do pubs here as they are like barns with cheap cafe style tables and 70's school chairs ! so i just buy a slab(carton) and sit at the pool and get mashed on a saturday night after smashing the trails on my dirtbike ! all good !

rabskyline

Shipping has gone through the roof in the past 3 months so I would have thought you are looking at US$3000+ and fees on top for a 20ft box, 40ftHC wont cost that much more.

rabskyline

dont need it mate ! been here since june 08 !

Will

Kangeroo ******* now eh?

You need a SN+ membership to get into FC

rabskyline

i'll jump anything mate, kangaroo's aren't safe neither ! and sn+ does that cost money ? if so, then i guess i'll just need to watch what i am saying in the main forum then
