Greetings, I’m trying to move at least some of my things, including a bed and small kitchen appliances and pots/pans, from New York to South Africa or Mozambique [whichever is more economical]. Can you suggest a company and/or tell me how much this might cost? Cheers in advance for the assistance.

I am moving home from Bahrain to Dublin in December and need to get about 20 kilos of personal items including 2 pieces of wall art sent home in advance. I am looking for the best way and so far my options seems really expensive (certainly way more than the value of the shipment) i.e. in the region of 500-1000 Euro. Is this normal? Can you advise what my best option would be?
Thanks a million!

Hi, we are moving from Eureka, Ca to Moscow, Russia. We have boxes of books clithes household things. Is there any way to get our stuff to Russia?

We will be moving from Hong Kong to UAE. We only want to send our 40″ flat screen TV & a Magic TV Box by sea to UAE. The TV needs a crate to pack I think. How can we find a right relocation company to help us to send only two items?
Thanks in advance

My wife and I are moving back to the United States from Toulouse.
We will have several boxes worth of clothes, papers, and household items.
We have different opinion about how many there will be (6 to 12).
She had the idea we might be able to share a pallet with someone.
Anyway, we need to do this as inexpensively as possible.
Any suggestions? Are there certain size boxes that are preferred by shippers?
We will sail from Toulon on December 3rd for the US.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
John Fulton

Hi Mark,

I was wondering what the cheapest way would be to send a box from Southampton UK, to Cape Town , South Africa?

I’m possibly looking to ship a lot of stuff (mostly clothes, shoes, etc) to London. Regarding UK shipping coast what are the best rated and least expensive options for this type of shipping? If possible could you send me a list of options, ideally with a cost estimate for each one.

I am in need of advice. I am currently living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (West side) and am looking to relocate my family back to England. I am undergoing what seems a painful process of deciding which is best. To sell everything we own here, to send it via air or to send it via freight.

The total size of the goods would fit in a Ford Transit van and the weight (approx) 200KG. The goods are worth in total around 1000 pounds. In your experience which route do you suggest? Also what freight company would be the best to speak to (If freight would be a possibility).

Thanks in advance

Best wishes

Dear Moving Doc: I sure hope you or any of your viewers can give me some suggestions.
I live in Toronto, Ontario and I am moving back to Honolulu next month. I am a dual citizen so I can live in both countries. My question is how do I send my stuff back without having to pay an arm and a leg to do it? All I have is about a dozen boxes, no furniture, no car or livestock. What do y’all suggest?
Thanks so much in advance for any and all advice.

Hi Doc,
I’m going to book a Ubox. I’m living in an appartment (2nd floor, no elevator) and will have to fill the Ubox outside my building just before you’ll come to pick it up (no loading dock available). If the weather is nice, it will work well! However, in case it’s raining, I’m thinking about renting a small truck with a loading ramp (UHAUL): I will prepare the UBOX in the truck to protect it from the rain. When your guys are going to come to pick up teh UBOX, do they have a hand pallet truck I could borrow to move the UBOX outside of my truck? Am I going to be charged for that? Or should I rent myself a hand pallet truck?
Thanks for your help!

I want to ship aprox. 30 cubic feet of art/china/serving pieces, etc. from SF USA to Paris France. How do you suggest I go about doing this? The objects (particularly art) have already been profesionally packed. I can do the necessary reinforcements for the china, serving pieces, etc.

how long will it take me to move my belongings from shanghai to singapore? No furniture just cloths, linen and kitchen ware.

Cheers,

Hi – We have been living in Boston for about 18 months and we’re moving back to Australia. At this stage we are not planning to take large furniture items back with us, but a whole lot of smaller things. We also just had a baby so we have a fair bit of baby stuff (including a foldable pack and play) to take back. We were envisaging using the UBOX, or possibly the shared container. We need the items to be picked up from our place (rather than going to the terminal).
My questions:
a) We live in a high rise apartment here in Boston. I looked at the youtube video for the ubox. It looks like it will fit in the door when it’s not made up, but when it’s made up and full, we won’t be able to get it out of the door and I’m not 100% sure if it would fit in the elevator either. Have you faced this situation before and what do you do about it? (do you know if the ubox made up, fits in an average apartment elevator? Do we just pack it outside our apartment door at the last minute??)
b) With the shared container option, can we have many boxes just ready to go and someone can come and pick them all up for us? we don’t need to pelletize the boxes together, we just have them all prepared individually with labelling etc and then the quote I receive online (picking ‘door to door’) is inclusive of someone coming to pick all the individual boxes up? is there a weight limit to a single box?
c) I’m probably not looking in the right place but on the website I couldn’t find how long it takes on average for it to arrive in Melbourne to my door.

Thanks for your help – much appreciated (sorry if this is not the forum for these specific questions – if it’s not, let me know where to direct them to)

Hi Mark, I’m looking for the cheapest way to send 1 or 2 boxes airfreight total weight 20kg from Perth to Cape Town. Can you help?

To Whom It May Concern

I am moving to the UK from Cape Town, South Africa and am faced with a decision whether to sell everything I own or to pack some of the essentials and send it over to the UK. Items such as TV, books, linen, some clothes and shoes, maybe a few pots and pans and things like that – No furniture. I would say that a 1.2m x 1.2m crate would be out the right size for it all. Can you give me some information on this? I am really clueless. Thank you 🙂

Hi

We need to move approximately 2 cubic metres (71 cubic feet) of self-packed goods from the island of Paros in Greece to Scotland. Do you know if kae international movers in Athens is a reputable company and/or do you know a reputable company?

Hi. I’m a Canadian currently living in London. I’ll be returning to Canada in April of next year for 8 months to a year and then returning to Europe, but Berlin, not London. I have a number of items that I want to hang on to – 2 cubic meters at the most – but I won’t need them in Canada so I plan to put them in storage. the most practical thing seems to me to ship the items to Berlin and store them there until I arrive and find accommodation. Is this possible; I won’t have a Berlin address until after I arrive – I’m a British/EU citizen in addition to Canadian. P S – Alternatively, I could store the Items in the UK and then arrange to have them shipped to my Berlin address when I’m settled, but I’m assuming, perhaps wrongly, that storage costs will be lower in Germany.

Hi Mark,

My husband is from Italy and we currently live in Canada. We are looking at moving to Italy next year via a 6 month stint in Africa (long story). We need to decide soon what to do with all of our stuff, sell it all and start from scratch (we are not terribly attached to most of our stuff) pack it all into storage and then ship via container (this appeals to us merely because we would like to ship our quads and some big items we couldn’t replace over there) or just pack the nearest and dearest into a crate or two for shipping after we return from Africa. We are half hour outside of Saskatoon, SK Canada and will be moving about 2.5 hours from Genoa. How we can we get a price estimate on container versus crate shipping?

Hi.
I’m planning to move from Calgary, CA to Mexico City by the beginning of December. I don’t plan on taking too much. Mostly it will be my clothes, shoes, other personal items, some small appliances, a countertop dishwasher, and a coffee table (~diameter of 100 cm/40 in). Any recommendations on a reputable moving company and an estimate of how much it will cost?
Thank you.

I am looking to move a 20ft trailer sailer from Seattle to any of the eastern seaboard ports in Australia. Can you advice me approximate costs involved and who is a good contact? Does it make any difference if yacht is new or second hand?

Hi Moving Doc!
I have roughly 10 cubic meters of household goods to move from Incheon, South Korea to Surrey. I will need these items boxed and crated. I plan to move to the UK arriving in May of 2014 but would like to ship prior to my arrival to hopefully time it out nicely! I do NOT have a residential address in the UK yet. So I am asking for a cost estimate, shipping time (Incheon to Surrey), and can I leave stuff (if necessary) in port until I find a home?
Thanks
