Yes, the mover is very good and reliable. When we moved to Toronto in 1996, we were also using their service. They had a good estimate for the size of your shipment in the 1st and 2nd free on site inspection. For new items, actually the immigration doesn't bother too much. We have quite some new stuff, including 2 single beds + mattresss + bedside table, clothes hanger, 1+9 dinning table set, 1 easy chair, 1+3 new sofa. No problem at all. They are very concerned about the cleaniness of your shoes and vacuum cleaner. The cost did not include local immigration inspection charges. Normally it's AUD500-600 for a half-hour inspection. Make sure you have the above items well cleaned or else they might charge you more for extra time required.
We have settled down quite well.
Just asked me any question you can think of. I am happy to help ! I do have fb and a HK nbr that you can call.
Labour is expensive. You need quite some time to get used to it. Say, if you buy a washer, you have to pay a delivery charge of 75. and get the dish washer installed is 150+. So most of the time is DIY.

Hi Jamie mama,
Welcome back! I am actually new to Australia too and just landed here for 3 months, I live in Wantirna South and still close to Mount Waverly. :)
I think you should get your moving plan set up well, and work it out bit by bit.
I used Santa Fe as my relocation company and I was satisfied with their services, though they were not the cheapest quote that I got.
