I used Seven Seas when I moved back to the U.K.. I don’t usually bother leaving comments on videos but it’s justified here. They were absolutely brilliant. Incredibly friendly, professional and super efficient. Hope they get some extra business from your video.

Hi, love your videos. They’re super helpful. Can I just ask when you pack your movecube, are you able to disassemble items such as a bed and have it as a flat pack type style so that you can reassemble it when it arrives, or does everything have to go in boxes? Thanks 😊

You can do what you like Laura as long as it fits in the box

Your comment that 31c is "really hot" made me think. What are the ratings for us where I live; somewhat further north than you. I would call 222-26 "nice" - 27--30c "a bit warm" - 31-35c " a bit hot" - 36-42 "bloody hot"

Hi, just going through your old vids as moving over in 4 weeks! on your Reccomendation we've booked seven seas too. Do you know if you can pack things inside things such as a storage ottoman? also we have clear tower draws and was wondering if we could pack thigs insde them and tape the draws over? Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks

Did you not need to give a delivery address at point of booking, from your other videos it seemed you chose that place after arrival.
@ThatJohnstonLife3 жыл бұрын
We did, however we used the hotel we were staying at for quarantine. They don't care what the initial address is, as this can be changed once you have a confirmed address. Just make sure you beat your shipment to Australia!

No bedding, mainly sentimental things. We fit about 12-14 boxes, but it depends on the size of them. No furniture, only things we couldn't replace in Australia
