australian Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 HiWas hoping that everyone who is in Sydney could give us an indication of how long it took for their containers to arrive. We are only taking a few items, so will be sharing a container. A delay of 7 months scares me, so if that is the norm, we would prefer to take an exclusive use containerThanksRobyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saffer2 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hiya.We have our own container, 19 days to Sydney then 9-20 days to clear customs. Our moving people have said that they will get it done in 9 working days!!We will see!!CheersReid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Swanepoel Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hi,We shared a container. The moving company fetched our goods at the end of March and the ship left Durban harbour last week. So it will be about 4 months before we get it.RegardsJohan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hi AustralianThere is no hard and fast rule about the time it takes for a shared container. It depends how long it takes the shipping company to fill that particular container. So it could be a short time but it could also be many months! They have no real control on how many people are going to want to ship at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
