    Ive had DHL do parcels from China to AU, dunno if they do big items, but worth a try, they may have an online thingy

    if youre talking like bedding and furniture big then you have to use sea freight. im pretty sure normal couriers wont send stuff that big.

      You can send reasonably large parcels by air, but it becomes very expensive very quickly. Bulky/heavy stuff is definitely better by sea

    I can give you the number of my logistics & customs broker that can arrange an LCL sea freight for you. He charges a fair bit for his services though so I dunno if that's what you want. But he takes the headache out of it and organises everything right through to customs clearance.

      How much is a fair bit? Care to share a couple of examples?

        Can't really say, hes our logistics guy at Universal Customs Brokers in W.A. for the company I work for. I don't see the invoices. I just meant he's not some guy that you're going to get a good deal off, he's a professional that will charge accordingly.
