shipping advice - help - moving australia to uk

[mummykanga]

anyone used britannia? white and co? bishops? harrow green? gb liners? any advice? also has anyone found the best way to insure? we have lots of furniture and books. thanks so much.

I did the opposite direction and used Seven Seas (move cube), but didn't have any furniture. Took out their insurance (from memory).

We moved from The UK to Australia about four yrs ago and used Doree Bonner in the UK who were partnered with Grace in Australia. We needed a 20ft container. They were ok. For insurance we did our own inventory which was really time consuming.

We are now moving back to the UK. We used Chess. They have been great. We were supposed to move in March right in the middle of lockdown. We had to cancel last minute and have changed our plans so many times, but they have been really accommodating. They were also the most competitive quote wise. This time we had the insurance where the cost is based on the amount of cubic meters you are taking. This works out more expensive but is much less hassle for us.

I am also shipping a couple of boxes of winter clothes back just before we fly out, that I won’t need in the UK for a while but need here in Australia for now. I have used seven seas for this, as for a small shipment they worked out much cheaper per box.
