They Charged us 2700.00 to ship to port of Oakland California. or 3500 door to door price. the proprietor, Scott, quoted "a few hundred dollars" for port fees. I figured I could save some money by picking up at the port. When I got the port fees, the minimum fees were close to 600.00. Scott said that he could not know the info for up to date info on the port fees. I think, as a shipping company, you should know the fees. it is your business!!! I think they took advantage.

Why would you take the regular ferry to Coochie island, which costs $4 each way, when you can take…read morethe Amity barge for $2.50? I know the ferry has a more extensive schedule so obviously if only the ferry is running, then that's your only choice. But otherwise I recommend the barge. It's more fun and it felt faster. Beware that there are no seats. This barge takes pedestrians and cars, but when we rode it, there were no cars, so you could pretty much stand anywhere. The ride is only about 5 minutes. Coochiemudlo island is beautiful, by the way, and totally worth $2.50 each way to get there. Make sure you read the barge schedule carefully and ask the operators when the last barge runs, because the signage is not totally clear.

The owner seemed quite genuine. When he arrived , to receive the TV we offered help but he refused saying he knew what he was doing. The TV arrived...destroyed. A big chunk was missing. The chunk wasn't in the box. Why? Because the he TV was dropped before packing it! This morally corrupt business, cowardly decided rather to phone us to tell us they dropped the TV to pack it and charge us $300 for the privilege. I visited them yesterday and they played dumb. What human coward piece of rubbish would break a TV and then charge to transport. And then make out to be our fault. I really don't care about the money. I just don't want to see other more vulnerable people treated like this. Peter and Rosie of the south Brisbane Pack and Send office a message. This is unacceptable!

Do you have a piece of clothing that you just cannot bare to part with? Maybe it is an investment…read morepiece like a trench coat that is classic, the perfect cut and irreplaceable. Or maybe you're a vintage vixen who shops with a thrifty and keen eye for threads of yesteryear and need a little hem stitched here or waist taken in there. No matter what your sartorial renovation or rescue need, Doree Mending will be your go-to seamstress and sewing godmother. I will admit that maybe 80% of myself chose Doree Mending to repair my long suffering trench coat for its latest round of emergency repairs because of their vintage advertising (what can I say, I'm a sucker for packaging, advertising and design) but it quickly became apparent my admiration for Doree would soon be based on the fact they are wonderfully polite, efficient and affordable with results that speak for themselves. Sure I've had seamstresses in the past promise me invisible stitching only to get my beloved trench back with clearly visible stitching. Looking at my trench after picking it up from Doree I'm having trouble seeing where the mending took place. Don't dilly dally around with others, walk straight off the Queen Street Mall (Queen's Plaza end), into the Tattersalls Arcade and take a sharp right into Doree. PS. When you do, check out the amazing antique library draw cabinet?!?

I wish I'd not been "too cool" as a teenage girl to learn how to sew. I tell you what, it would…read morehave saved me a lot of time and money had I just swallowed my pride and picked up a needle and thread. But alas, we cannot turn back time, so recently when I found some clothes needing to be mended I took them to Doree Quick Mending in Tattersall's Arcade. The little store is so beautiful, lined with old Singer sewing machines. Their slogan is "a stitch in time since 1934" and it really does feel like you have stepped out of a time machine and gone back 60 years. A lady called Mary helped me out and assured me that every garment I had brought in could be fixed. There were a couple of zips needing to be replaced and a few seams needing to be re-sewn and she said that it would all be ready to be picked up in a few days. I was a little bit taken aback by the price ($30 for each of the items needing a zip replaced) but otherwise the service was prompt and polite. When I picked everything up, they looked as good as new. I was really happy with the work the Doree Quick Mending did, but I think in future I will only take the small mending jobs there to avoid forking out as much money as I did the first time.
