Guest floater Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 That's not a bad price, going where though? Yes you can push all of them a little bit on the price but don't forget you have to add insurance and customs charges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tramway Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 GBP 3,200 (inc AQIS) & 2% insurance London to Sydney so nothing else to be paid this end. Got through AQIS with no probs also. Highest praise can only be given for both ends, nothing broken or damaged. Really glad we used them and they were wayyyyyy cheaper than others who kept saying they can't be including the AQIS its dodgy etc but I'd def use them again and recommend them without any doubts.

Guest MozwillbinOz Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 We used White and Co. Single container door to door in 7 weeks. Couple of broken bits (table leg and sideboard) still in negotiations with insurance company. Couldn't fault White and Co in Uk and Kent removals here in Aus. We tried to negotiate on the price but it wasnt happening as we only gave them 10 days notice!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roh008 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 White & Co quote for me was extortionate, part container around £5.80 per cubic ft! (paying a very high premium for part container, compared to OP 20ft quote. The pack they sent look corporate, with watermarked paper.. they seem to have a high overhead cost that needs recouping.

Hiya, Where in the UK are you now cos I think that makes a difference !! We 2 are heading for Melbourne and got a couple of quotes some time ago (around Oct last year) and 1 of them, PSS was £3300 for a 20ft and recently I spoke to White & Co near us and they said a rough estimate of £3500 as well.
