Hi Mudman, I am also moving from Perth to Kuwait mid March. Can I ask what removal company did you use? and how much did it cost you?
I am looking at 20ft Container Door to door.

Appreciate if you can share your experience.

Cheers

sorry, but I gave up. Better to sell my furniture Down-Under and rent a fully furnished in Kuwait. Later on I will buy the furniture in Kuwait. I do not trust the relocation companies. Once the container will be in Kuwait, there might be too many issues

Some quick advice concerning customs and the shipping your furniture:

Avoid shipping things here that aren't "normal".

I'm a hobby mechanic and an electrical engineer.  I have a TON of tools and electronic components.  My container was completely tore apart by the customs inspectors at the port (twice).  It took a LONG time for my things to clear, many visits to many different government offices, and a LOT of stuff got broken (I was told it all started because my kids telescope showed up as "gun shaped" on the x-ray).

If you're shipping things that strictly fit the definition of "furniture" or "general household goods" you should be fine.  But if you've got hobbies like mine, you're going to be in for a long ride.
