Moving To Australia? Ship Your Belongings With PSS

Taking the leap and migrating to Australia involves a whole checklist of tasks. From securing the correct visa to creating a new bank account, there are seemingly endless things that need doing, not least shipping the contents of your house across the world. We spoke to international shipping company PSS to see how they can help you with your move down under. 

When shipping home contents to Australia, what are the first three things you advise people to do?

We would always recommend an initial FREE home survey dependent on volume.
Ensure our clients are dealing with accredited companies (BAR Overseas and FIDI regulated)
Ensure that the companies you are talking to specialise in International removals

What are the main advantages of using PSS for shipping to Australia?

We only do international removals and have been assisting individuals make to move to Australia for the past 34 years. We are a family run business and all our staff have been export trained and have the experience to supply you with an excellent service. We also all of the UK, so wherever you live in the country, you will find that PSS can offer you a competitive estimate.

When in the migration process should people consider speaking to an international removal company? Are there advantages of speaking to PSS early or is it best to do this last?

When you are planning to move overseas it is vitally important that you receive the right information and also the right support. We would recommend you contact one of our highly skilled removal consultants at least 3-6 months prior to your move.

How long does most shipping take? Do you have to wait a long time at the other end?

We would advise that for a shared container it would take between 8-12 weeks and for your own dedicated container 6-9 weeks to arrival port and a further 2 weeks to deliver to your residence.

What are the main advantages of people coming to speak to PSS at migration shows and events?

We don’t always have the luxury to meet our clients face to face and especially if we have not had the opportunity to survey the move. Despite our increasingly digital world we have found that meeting our clients face to face we are able to answer more questions or assist with any concerns they may have.
