I am new to this 禁漫天堂 forum.聽 My husband and I are moving to Sydney, Australia from Georgia, USA.聽 We have tried to research the cost of shipping things to Sydney but it is very overwhelming trying to get quotes on what it would cost.聽 We don't have a lot of stuff (clothes, china, picture albums, etc) and almost no furniture that we want to take and we can't figure out the most economical way to ship it.聽 Does anyone know of a good international shipping company and can actually tell me the name of it, how much it cost you to ship, and the best way to go about this.聽 We would really appreciate any help and advice!

Hi there,

I work for an international relocation company, you would expect to pay somewhere around AUS $1500-3500 for what you are talking about. It is really hard to to give you an exact figure without knowing exactly what you have. If you need some help i can suggest ways to go about things for you. feel free to email me on michael.dunstan@ossworldwide.com

Regards,
michael

That is quite funny, as I moved FROM the land of Oz to Atlanta! I used urelocation.com to help with my shipping needs.

Unlike price USA, there are international parcel forwarders that would provide you with a personal lifelong US-based address to consolidate and forward your purchases through.

Here are a few options to look into:
