    I live in Australia and have personal and sentimental items in our rented house in Ireland .

    We recently purchased a house her em and will not be returning home.

    With the renter permission would it be possible to arrange a company to Retrieve and ship the boxes to me?

    Is this possible has any ever experienced this ?

    Mobile number as a username isnt a good idea..

    As for your question ask your tenant to pack up the items and have a friend or family member collect them and organise to ship them. Doubt your tenant wants some company coming in rummaging around where they live.

    The stuff is prepacked in the attic?

    Did you have experience in a Similar situation?

    There are companies out there that will pack up and ship so given it's easily accessible I'd say you just need to have a google and fire off a few emails. I'm afraid the company I know of are UK / NI based. Expect them to want to repack the stuff and it to be pretty expensive.

    As for your question about your own username - only you know the answer :pac:

    Just for info Australia is not currently accepting any parcels/packages from Ireland.

    When you find a company just check they can store for you while you wait for the borders to open up again

    I posted stuff to Irelnd whwn I was living in the UK - dis it slow post way and it took forever but much much cheaper than shipping/ fedex - but things may have changed.


    I’d aLso say having had (bad) experience of Australian customs that I was shocked by the things they thought were illegal and confiscated to destroy (and fine over) - might be worth having a good look at their illegal items list first - earrings made of beads (=seeds=illegal), wood photoframes=non native horticuluiral import =illegal) etc. Was quite the surprise for me.

    Do you have someone who could knock at the door and ask the current tenants to give them to & they could go through the boxes and repack or post/weigh/ship? Might be easier than a company? You could offer them e50 petrol money or something for the favour - free gaff in Australia if they wanted to come out for a holiday...
