Hi all, we will be moving from North Carolina (USA) to Airlie Beach (QLD) and I need to organize the shipment of our household. I got various quotes but they are tell me I need to take a full-service agency as international shipments are not allowed to be packed by owner because of customs requirements and such. Naturally that's really expensive. Does anyone know whether that's true?
I would like to pack myself to save some money.

Thanks.
