Hi Mark,

I’m looking for some advice on shipping from London UK to Dublin Ireland. I have a 42 inch tv a guitar and a music keyboard. How do I need to prepare the items to be accepted for shipping? and which company would you recommend?

Dear Mark.

Could you help? I’m currently living in the North of Italy but in May 2014 my husband, myself and our 2 daughters will be moving back to the UK. I was thinking of hiring a 20 foot container (I think that should be big enough as a lot of our furniture is from IKEA and will “flat pack” again for the journey). I’ve been searching on Google but keep coming up with industrial shipping or shipping cars with containers!! Do you know what the average prices would be to ship a 20 foot container from Northern Italy to the South west of the UK (door to door)? Do you have any web page addresses that you could send me so that I could have a look at to get an idea of what is involved.
 
Kind regards

Hi,
An easy one I hope: we are currently travelling in the US ahead of travelling through warm Sth Americam countries. We would like to send an unaccompanied suitcase filled with winter clothes home to Sydney Australia from Boston in the US. Likely weight of the suitcase wil be approx 20kg. Approximately how much should this cost and what is the quickest way to arrange this while in Boston.

We’re moving back from Spain to the US. Shipping door-to-door, if we’re not back in the US before our shipment arrives, is there an option to leave it stored in the container for 2-4 weeks until we arrive at our delivery address?

Also, does upackweship have a roll-on/roll-off facility on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, as we’ll be touring on our motorcycle and will be shipping it back when we finish touring the EU? If not, anywhere in the EU you offer roll-on/roll-off for motorcycles? It’s a US spec bike registered here in Spain (only had to change one light cover for Spanish specs, and an easy light cover swap back to get it back to its original US specs). We figure that with it being a Spanish registered bike that it might be easier to ship from a Spanish port vs. dealing with another EU country when shipping it out.

Hi Mark, we have just moved from Qatar to Spain. We used a agent to ship our things by container. We were told that our container would be about 35 days, it has now been over 50 days. So we starting investigating and have out that the container has been in Barcelona since 10 November 2013. We have been contacting the agent to find out what happens next and we are getting no joy. We thought that we paid for door to door. What can we do to get this resolved and get the container released and delivered to our address?

Thanks

Hi Mark, I am so happy to come across your web page.
I want to ship some household items from Croghan, Boyle Co Roscommon ( 2.5 hours drive from Dublin, Ireland) to City of San Francisco, USA.
It would consist mainly of household items, ie books, about 10 large wall paintings, few end tables, 2 arm chairs, 1 5 feet chaise ( couch which is quite heavy), some lamps and 2-3 miscellaneous boxes with random ornaments etc. If I thought that the couch would encur a rather large expense I would not ship it and bring the remaining items. The items would have to be picked up in Croghan and taken to Dublin or Cork port and probably packed on a palate and all shipping customs documentation taken care of. I could box it myself, except for the larger items ( not sure how they would need to be covered?) Anyway Mark, I would appreciate your input and expertise.
Kind Regards, Carmel.

Hello,
We’re relocating fromToowng Qld 4066 in Brisbane, Australia to Lulea, Sweden (A town up north with port. Distance for container deliver from port 25km). We’re considering 20 foot vs 40 foot container door to door with self pack. We’re not moving until May 2015 but needing some rough estimates to start evaluating what to bring vs cost etc. I understand that quotes are not valid this far out but without any ideas of even estimations of cost, it is hard to start planing for it. There’s a lot of cumbersome musical equipment but all in pro touring road cases + a kayak trailer with kayaks and the last item is what most likely put us over the 20 foot container into the next area (but in return we could fit everything lock and dice in the 40′ container .. if a 20′ container is used, we would have to sell a lot of things and re buy… so cost difference is important.

I want to ship one large set of shelves from Sydney to my son who is living in London. They are in storage at the moment. Do you have any thoughts as to how I should do this? Thank you for your help!

Hello Mark,

I’m currently in Sydney, Australia and is going back to Taiwan soon. I’ve been here for quite a while and got a lot of things to take with me. My luggage is kind of overweight. If I want to do small amounts of shipping from Sydney to Taipei, Taiwan, like 10-15 kg, where should I to? From what I know what my friend did was to buy like 300 kg or something like that, and costed him over 100 bucks. That’s too much for me if I only want to do like 10-15 kg, maximum 20. Any suggestion? Thanks! 🙂

I want to ship a 50-200 lb privte package from the USA to Israel at a reasonable cost by sea, how can I do it?

We most likely will be moving from Dayton, OH to Lausanne, Switzerland in around 8 mths and are trying to get some estimates for different metrics (by container size, number of rooms moved, total volume, number of boxes, total weight etc.). Based on the stimates we will decided how much furniture to ship from the US versus whether to purchase in Lausanne (despite the much higher prices there plus local delivery charges). We probably will have at least some furniture such as folding chairs and folding table, coffee table, small desk, book cases, camp bed frame with mattress (packaged), plus a number of boxes and suitcases of household items (kitchen and bath ), books, clothes. We may have one old car to ship as well. Some companies seem to want to know the exact items (by room example bedroom, study etc.) before quoting a rough estimate. This is sort of putting the cart before the horse because we would like to decide what to take from here versus what to buy from there based on rough cost estimates. For instance if somebody would tell us how much it costs for a certain cubic feet or for a certain weight we could figure out what priority items to pick to make up that volume or that weight. Can you please help ? We have ‘googled’ and really couldn’t find much reliable pricing information on an a la carte basis from origin to destination..
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Please can you tell me the approximate cost of transporting a small car (Hyundai i30) from Sydney to Christchurch NZ ?

Hi Mark,

Hello Doc!
I have just moved from Santa Barbara California to NYC. I had to move in quite a hurry due to a job that was waiting for me in new york. I was able to pack all my belongings but did not have time to ship my boxes! They are currently in a friends garage in Santa Barbara. Im wondering if you can advise me on how to go about having a company pick up my belongings from my friends house. They are not weighed nor labeled and id like to make this as hassle free as possible for my friends who was been kind enough to store these boxes for me.
Thank you in advance!

Hi There,

I have recently decided that i will be moving from the UK to either Auckland or Melbourne. I need to know which one cheaper to ship to and how to work out how much space my personal effects would take up in a shipping container. I have packed my things and it is a combination of sporting goods, suitcases, boxes and garment bags. I am not taking any furniture however.

Many thanks,

Mark,

My wife is selling her house in Mexico City (DF). We have sold most of the household items locally via “‘yard” sales and to family and friends. Now we are down to the things she would like to keep and ship to our home in Maryland (USA). Mostly paintings, some furniture and other art collectables. Can you please suggest some reputable companies that we can contact in order to get the packaging and shipping expedited.

Regards,

Tim
