I am moving from Alberta Canada to Sydney Australia. I have 3 young kids and want to know the cheapest but safe way of shipping our belongings to Australia

Hi I am flying from BC Canada to QLD Australia this Thursday. I have a massage table that I need to take and Air NZ aren’t sure if they will accept it as the dimensions are 23.60kg and 30″ x 81″.
Who else offers the cheapest shipping – I don’t need this for at least another 3 months so am happy to have it go the long slow route.
Cheers
Amanda

I am selling my house in Hungary and moving to California. What is the best way to ship my household goods and do you have a feel for cost? I will not be shipping large items such as televisions, beds or appliances. However, I have a lot books and other such things, probably enough to fill the back of a large pickup about three times.

Thanks,

jim

Dear Mark,
I have 45 Boxes, 01 two-seat leather, o1 TV Set, some Paintings etc., books, all personal belongings and used.
I have them at Shurgard StorageGermany, Cologne. I would like to bring that stuff to Lima, Peru and would prefer door to door and if possible by ship. It could be arranged by the latest August 21, 2013
My Storage Room at Shurgard in Cologne, Germany is 3 Meters and it is not full yet.
Can you recommend the most economical way for shipping?

Hi Mark,

I’m a student moving from Boston, MA back home to Leeds, England.

I’d like to know if the boxes I pack have to be accessible for inspection at any way along the trip. I’m worried as if I pack my items (mostly furniture) very securely, will someone need to get inside the boxes to check the contents, and possible ruin my packaging, making it less sturdy for the remainder of the trip.

Another question–looking at the upackweship website, it seems like my best option would be to go for the Shared Container Service. I have 7 or 8 boxes that will total between 100 and 150 cubic feet. the boxes are of odd sizes and will not stack evenly, but they can be stacked on top of each other. Do you think the Shared Container Service is my best option?

I filled out the Rate-Mate and it produced a quote of $10.91 / cubic foot. Does this figure include port charges and terminal and hand out charges?

Many thanks for your help,

Paul Whitehead

How many boxes I will need to move from Los Angeles, CA to Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. What are the boxes made of and how good is security against theft during transit?

Are professional packers available? This is my 4th move in 18 months and am worn out! How do I pack a 3′ tall wall clock?

Hi, I need to shift my household items from India (Delhi) to Calgary(Canada) in September 2013.
The load would be no less that FCL-20ft.I would like to learn the Packaging and Home delivery charges.

Hey Doc,

I’m an Australian trying to move 21 boxes (40.5 cu ft) from the USA back home but most of the moving companies have a minimal (cu ft) way above my needs. Is there another way of shipping my things to Australia without being ripped off? Also is there a way to contact a shipping company (without going through a agent) directly in either LA or San Fran? Also how do you trust moving companies when most (not all) of them have such bad reviews?

Thanks Mate!

Hi,

I am looking to send a 25 kilo bag from LA to the UK the cheapest way possible, doesnt matter if it s by sea and it takes multiple weeks,

thanks

Hi Doc,
My husband and I are moving from Calgary, Canada, to Plymouth England this fall. We estimate that we have enough stuff to fill about 1/2 of a 20 ft container. The stuff is mostly used furniture, and some other household odds and sods. We don’t mind packing/unpacking the container ourselves.
What do you think the cheapest way is to get our stuff from calgary to Plymouth?
Thankyou

I have personal items and furniture in storage in the south of France to be shipped to Toronto, Canada. I have spoken with Canadian customs regarding the contents and was advised to omit the new box spring and mattress as Canada does not allow beds to be shipped (will comply). There are three wooden crates I assume the weight is somewhere between 3,000 and 3,500lbs. No appliances or items that would not be acceptable only furniture, kitchen ware, dishes, books, linens, clothing, patio set. Could you please let me know the approx. cost of shipping, how long would the process take and the simpliest way to ship? Thank you!

Hello,
I would like to find out how much it would cost to ship several large antique carpets from San Diego, CA (USA) to Bremen, Germany. I don’t need them to arrive quickly, so ocean freight would be fine. Would it be possible to get an approximate quote without knowing the exact details of the size and weight of the carpets? We would decide on how many to ship based on the cost….

many thanks, Bryna Flaim

Can you give us an estimate for moving one small coffee table (antique, but not valuable), toys, books, framed pictures, some clothes, wet suits, a few sentimental kitchen items, photo albums, some coats and other clothes. Rough estimate = 150 -175 kilos (?). Thank you, in advance, and I look forward to your response.

Hi, I am enquiring (very early) about shipping a container from Melbourne back to Dublin Ireland. I am trying to decide if i should ship or sell all my items and this will all depend on price of course. I will only need a small container as i am not planning on taking all furniture etc home. Can you advise which is the smallest container you ship to Ireland and maybe a rough price on each size??

I would be planning on taking 3 webbers, TV’s, TV cabinets, shelving units, suitcases with clothes, dining room table and chairs but NO bedroom furniture or anything like that so pretty small container i think.

I look forward to hearing from you.

regards

Gillian

Wanting a price to move a 5ft or 6ft container from Brisbane to perth. From house to house

Hi moving from near Port Canaveral Fl (big shipping/cruise port) to Spain, not sure where, but on the coast. Taking 5 dressers, NO beds, obviously no appliances or anything electric for the most part.. Maybe 2 couches and a chair, some pictures, clothes, some kitchen stuff and misc. personal items, a guitar and amplifiier. One car, fairly small and new. Any help on deciding just how much or little to take would be appreciated. So far when we look at furnished places livingroom especially seems to be out of style for us. Trying to weigh (no pun intended) the cost to ship versus buy some things.
