Australia / Moving from Australia to Warsaw- any advice on means of transporting stuff? [5]

After a lot of googling, emailing, calling and comparing offers, I figured that with a move like mine (no furniture), the cheapest option will be Korpak (or Korpol).

Korpak sounds like a much better option as the owner - Krystyna - is heaps nicer and easier to talk to than the lady from Korpol.

I will let you know how it went (as info for whoever needs to send their stuff to Poland in the future).

Thank you, goha_p and MIPK, for your replies and advice!

Australia / Moving from Australia to Warsaw- any advice on means of transporting stuff? [5]

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I found that neither Korpak or Korpol replies emails... I will have to try calling them I guess... But I so much prefer to have it all in writing.

I'm looking around still for cheapest way to send my things to Poland. It is really hard cause there are a lot of additional costs that some companies don't tell you about explicitly. And the differences in quotes between companies are humongous.

Still will appreciate any advise on the cheapest transport from you, forum folks!

Australia / I would love to meet Poles living in Sydney [56]

Mateusz, there are Polish Clubs in Ashfield and Bankstown.
In Ashfield on Friday night (24th May) we're throwing a rock concert. That's a great opportunity to meet a lot of Polish people from Sydney and also to have some Polish food and drinks and a lot of fun. :)

Details of the event are in my thread ""BRING IT BACK AGAIN" - live music night at Ashfield Polish Club (Sydney)".

Cheers,
Martyna

Australia / Moving from Australia to Warsaw- any advice on means of transporting stuff? [5]

Hi all,
I'm planning to move in a year or so from Sydney to Warsaw. I don't have heaps of stuff to move (probably not taking any furniture), but still after you pack all your belongings it usually ends up being quite a big pile.

I was considering shipping it with freight by AusPost, which ends up being $200 for 20kg package (there would be a few of those probably), but would be happy to send out a small shipping container on a freight if there is any company offering such a thing.

I was hoping that someone would already have some experience here and could share some good advice on a cheapest way to move.

I wrote two Polish companies which supposedly do removals between Australia and Poland (Korpol and Korpak) but I guess they are overflooded with clients and don't need any more of them since they never replied to my emails.

So I'd appreciate if you shared your experience or research results on good and cheap ways of moving/shipping quite a lot of stuff.

I don't mind it taking a few months to reach Poland (as it will probably be with freight), but I wouldn't like to pay through the nose for it as it usually is with international removalist companies.

Cheers,
Martyna
