Ladyfingers Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) I moved over to Sydney in 2008 and left most of my personal effects back in Cape Town with my parents.They've been trying to get it over to me cost-effectively, but haven't had much luck. Quotes for a solo courier are well into the thousands of dollars.The cargo would be about 7 or so rubber storage boxes filled with books and hobby-related items. I'd estimate the load at being under 100kg.If you or anyone you know has a little space in a container, please let me know.Thanks!

Mara Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Have they tried the International removal companies for a shared container? That would probably be the cheapest option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladyfingers Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 They tried Pickfords, but the rates were extortionate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RYLC Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 I have to ask the question: After 6 years do you really need the stuff? Seems like a lot of cost and effort for hobby stuff and books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoot Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Have you looked at a company called ubag? When I was in South Africa and a student was taking up an international placement they used them and seemed well satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
