Why do so many UK-pats move to Australia?
People relocate from the UK to Australia for a host of reasons, and not just because English is the primary language there. UK citizens start new lives over in Australia to enjoy the country’s vast employment opportunities, to embrace its diverse culture, enjoy the city life in places like Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, benefit from its low pollution level and high educational standards and its picturesque landscapes as well as its massive range of exhilarating outdoor activities. The country is of course known for its great climate and highly-efficient healthcare system.
Some of Australia’s most well-known attractions include the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Blue Mountains National Park, the Daintree National Park, Bondi Beach, Fraser Island, Ocean Road and Kangaroo Island.
How do I use Australia shipping containers?
The first thing you need to do if you need to ship to Australia is get a free quote. The information you provide us with will give us a detailed understanding of your needs. We will then send out a surveying service team to you so they can assess your load. Following this, we will prepare your items for shipping and get them into your container. You can either use a shared container and only pay for the space you use or instead book a sole-use container. We can ship virtually anything as long as it is legal to do so. What’s more is that we will even unpack for you once your goods reach your new Australia address.
How much will it cost to use a UK-to-Australia shipping container?
Air freight is famously fast and convenient but also very expensive. If you have a large load, a 20ft or 40ft container will probably be your best option. See below for a list of the services you can receive when you book a shipping container to Australia.
- A move coordinator to make the process run smoothly
- Insurance on your goods
- Packing and unpacking
- Door-to-door collection and delivery

Which Australia shipping methods are available?
If you only have a modest load, such as the contents of a small flat, you may wish to use air freight or share a shipping container. Some people do choose to send a few essentials over by the air and get the rest over through the sea. If you do opt for air freight, you can cut some of the cost by collecting the goods from the airport in person.
