anyone gotten a bid on shipping from the US west coast? Just looking ahead at how much to budget. thanks

And if I may piggy-back on tigerlily's question -- only because the theme is so similar -- has anyone on West Coast investigated the whole topic of shipping quantities that are smaller than the regular 20-40 container size load? E.g., a big box or two of books, small items, bedding, etc.??? We're interested in whether you can ship quantities of stuff that are more modest in size and might range in the low hundreds of $$$ rather than the big-sized low-thousand $$$ range.

Cheers,
Matt.

I have received one quote so far, door-to-door Berkeley, CA to Palmerston North, packing and unpacking included:

Southern Winds International
195 cu ft/ 1200 lbs (LCL)
$2275 + insurance $25 per $1000 declared value
or
390 cu ft/2400 lbs (LCL)
$4195 + insurance $25 per $1000 declared value
