Is it worth shipping furniture to Australia from UK?
Moving house abroad is hardly a decision made on the spur of the moment. Even if it is, you don’t get to move the next day. Then again, there’s a world of difference between hopping across the border to a neighbouring country and relocating to the antipodes. While those who are after a fresh start in a new place can literally take the first flight and begin their new life some 36 hours later, many people will want to bring some of their old world along. After all, it’s often just as hard to ignore emotional attachment to those things that remind us of our beloved ones as it is to bin fully functional and practical everyday use items we have cherished for so long. Sounds familiar?
Let’s examine the question of whether it is worth shipping furniture to Australia from the UK. We will discuss some practical and sentimental aspects that will have a potentially huge impact on the overall cost of shipping your private belongings to Australia. We’ll also look into the current import regulations and average delivery times. That will perhaps sieve off some of the things that may be on your list. Finally, we will look at the costs associated with shipping goods to OZ and the time needed for them to arrive there.
Practicality or sentiment?
There’s a piece of one’s soul in every gift. A quick glance at a treasured item will often bring back fond memories of a beloved one. Likewise, pieces of furniture can have a sentimental value. Some items are simply irreplaceable and nobody’s going to talk you out of that.
All those items that you cannot imagine parting with you should simply ship to Australia. In case you’ll be shipping fragile items or some pieces of antique furniture, it would be advisable to consider some extra protection for them. Custom made, specialised packing will significantly increase the cost of shipping to Australia. But, as you know, some things do not have a price tag on them.
When it comes to shipping any other regular pieces of furniture or everyday use personal belongings, you will have to think “practicality first”! After all, is it worth importing a massive bed frame that may have absolutely no practical use in your new flat? Same with worn out or damaged stuff that can be easily replaced with items available locally after arrival. While planning your shipment, it is necessary to think in terms of often radical differences in ways of living between the UK and OZ. A spacious apartment in London is a fr cry from the living conditions typical of a beach town like Sydney. Will you fit all the furniture into that new studio of yours in Melbourne? Perhaps selling or donating some of the stuff you’ll no longer need is the way to go. An honest look at your inventory will help you decide.
Regulations on importing furniture to Australia
Much in the same way as any other country, Australia imposes some restrictions on the types and quantities of importable goods. Moreover, you will have to incur the cost of customs duties and taxation on the items you’ll be shipping overseas. We suggest that you research the subject thoroughly. It will certainly help to decide what is going with you, and what isn’t.
In an attempt to protect its native fauna and flora, Australia puts in place rigid restrictions on importing wood and wooden items that are deemed risky. As such, wood can be infested with all sorts of dangerous microbes, such as:
- dust mites
- insects
- mould spores
Make sure your furniture has been cleaned and adequately packed before you commission shipment despatch. Don’t forget to check whether you’ll have to declare any of the items you’re planning to send.
How much will it cost you to send furniture and how long will you have to wait?
Long story short, moving home is a costly undertaking, to say nothing of shipping goods across the world. The overall cost of removals to Australia is determined by a selection of factors. These are:
- the number and weight of your furniture items
- the relocation distance
- the transportation method
- the required transportation services
- the time of the move
- the international furniture movers involved
All things considered, you will be looking at a price range of £3000 – £6500 for a door-to-door service by sea. Also, some of the above factors will be subject to seasonal fluctuation in price, the peak season being August – September and January – February. Bear in mind that some extra on-demand services will add to the total cost incurred. Some of these could be:
- disassembly and reassembly of furniture
- professional packing and unpacking services
- door-to-door delivery
- extra insurance coverage
Time-wise, however, your shipment may not make it to OZ for up to several months, if you opt for sea freight. This is a real game changer for those considering importing massive shipments to Australia. At the end of the day, you will have to do without your furniture for a significantly long period of time. On the other hand, sea freight is nowhere near airfreight in terms of financial expenditures. It guarantees nearly instant delivery, but what a drainage of your pocket! Perhaps, it is altogether wiser to spend the money on furniture once you’ve landed?
New country, new furniture
Why not spend some time researching furniture prices in Australia before you actually decide what and if you want to ship any of your stuff. After all, your new country of residence differs significantly from what you are used to here in the UK. Donating and selling your household goods will likely get you some extra quid that’ll go into the furniture replacement fund. Plus all the money that you’ll not spend on shipping. Just give it a thought.
