Hi everyone. Am looking to relocate to Europe with my partner and I have a feeling we’re not seeing some of the expected costs and procedures currently.
We’ll be taking some furniture with us along with pets. From what I can gather we need to be considering the following:
Flights - $3000 (1500 each) Shipping container 20ft - $4500 3x cat relocation - $6500 Some new clothes while we wait for the container - $3000 Unplanned incidentals - $3000 Total $20K AUD
Costs like temporary accommodation when we land im looking as a separate element same as transport (bus/train/etc) and I’m leaving food out of this currently too.
Basically we’re trying to work out the cost of the physical move itself and not the cost of living when we arrive at our destination.
Are there any important things that we should be factoring into our budget for this move that we’re currently overlooking?
Where did you source your quote for the shipping container? $4500 seems insanely cheap for a whole container. I’ve been looking at one for relocating to Canada and getting quoted prices like 13-15k.
It was an online quote but bear in mind it’s for a 20ft container not a 40ft one and prices are going to be very different for Aus>Eu than for what you’re looking.
