Transit times for removals to Australia

Groupage or shared load consignments usually arrive nine to 14 weeks door-to-door. Keep in mind, though, that this can vary depending on volume being shipped, customs or immigration delays and weather conditions. Sole use containers usually take six to eight weeks port-to-port, and there's normally a weekly service to all major ports. Onward delivery to your new home will typically add an extra two weeks or so.

They will coordinate all documentation and necessary veterinary procedures. Just ask when you enquire about your removal, we are glad to help.

Unfortunately, the importation of birds into Australia is currently prohibited.
