Finally gotten the quotation from HBRelo. Details as below:
Our breakdown charges as follows:
1) Origin service and ocean freight up to Melbourne port -RM 2,650.00
2) Destination service upon arrival Melbourne port up to your residence inclusive of AQIS fees, destination port, wharfage, NVOCC fee, Delivery order fees and THC charges- RM 6,100.00
Total: RM 8,750.00
There are 25 boxes. It will take 2 months including quarantine. Door to door service.
Still pricey but at least will have some peace of mind that the boxes will arrive at our doorstep, with other people handling the clearance, quarantine, transportation, etc.
Will need to fill up and provide the below:
2) Photo-copy of passport (all pages including blank pages and visa)
3) Completed Australian Custom form
4) Marine insurance form (3.5% of total estimated value)
5) Packing list
The plus point of going with relocators like HBRelo instead of Air Asia Cargo is that our boxes could be collected ahead of time before we fly off, and stored in a temporary storage. Until we get a rental in Australia, we will only provide a 'care-of' address. Once we have an actual address, we can email the relocator. Timing-wise, this is more convenient for us.
On top of that, they also accept cheque, unlike AirAsia Cargo who only works with cash. AirAsia Cargo sends the lorry over with the weighing machine. For all the boxes you want to ship, they will weigh and require the total bill be settled in cash. So if its tens of thousands, you'll still have to pay in cash. Headache!
Boxes will be collected tomorrow. We issue a cheque and don't have to think of it anymore. Ah, bliss.
