They charged us S$900 for the 1st cbm and S$250 for every succeeding cbm. 1 cbm is equivalent to 8 boxes (dimension for each box is 55 x 45 x44 cm). Tapos you'll be charged for insurance (if I remember correctly, we chose S$150) then pagdating sa australia, A$200 for the quarantine fee.
They'll be providing you the boxes. For bulky items, like TV, you can have them packed in their original box tapos pa-compute mo sa kanila roughly ano equivalent nun in cbm by providing them with the TV box dimensions.
Note that the above rates are for shipment to Melbourne, and as of May 2015.

Box dimension is LxWxH.
