we are moving from Cape Town to Sydney, but are unsure as to whether to ship our household goods... or purchase new items upon arrival in Australia.

Can some other South Africans share their experiences?

What are the costs that we should anticipate?
What are the entry requirements for wooden/leather items?

Your help is appreciated.

Our research has led usto conclude that shipping of cars is not viable, but household goods are worthwhile.

Bearing in mind of course that electronics and white goods are much cheaper in Australia than SA.

We are still battling to get a grip with the expected shipping costs for a 20 ft container from Cape Town to Sydney. Our first quote came in at R 46,000.

Are there no other South Africans who have experiences to share about shipping costs/recommended suppliers please?

Thanks
