    Sea Freight from MEL to HKG

    I want to buy some quality products from Melbourne and have them shipped to Hong Kong, preferably in a returning communal container, to keep costs down, especially while the Aussie dollar is high.

    Anybody know of a service that packs communal containers that are returning to Hong Kong ex Port Melbourne ?

    Skyhook,

    you'll needa to approch those freight fowarding companies that specialise in removals like Crown logisitics, pan pacific, Santa fe etc

    they will arrange to move you cargo in a container even if its an LCL (less than container load) shipment.

    Thanks Bako,


    I'll give them all a call and find out what the comparative costs are from here in HKG, compared to being arranged via a Melb based shipping agent.

    how big are we talking? a few boxes? there are a few "excess baggage" companies that will send boxes for a reasonable rate from melb to HK, so if what you are buying will pack into a packing box you might be able to try them. if it is furniture, no idea
