Hello,
I am planning to move from France back to the US in the next few months. I would like to bring my deceased mother’s baby grand piano with me. It’s serial no. dates it to 1930 and it has ivory keys. I’ve read that new laws now require CITES documents, including a pre-ban exemption permit in order to avoid US customs confiscating it or ripping off the ivory key tops. Do you know these formalities, where to find these docs, make the application/s etc? I’ve searched but haven’t had any luck so far. Also, will I be able to ship this piano with upakweship? What would be the approx cost? This baby grand is in some need of repair, worth no more than about $1000 but it has great sentimental value and I love playing it. However, if shipping it will be an expensive nightmare, I’ll have to sell it here in France before leaving.
Thanks very much.

Hello what is the cheapest way to send a 1600 KG box of railway line from Carltonville to Cape Town. The box length is about 1.5m x 2m x 1.5m approximately
Thank you.

After several international moves, we are finally coming back to the United States. We are being transferred from Mexico City to New York, but our permanent home is in California. My question: Could we pack half of our things for Los Angeles and the other half for New York? Our total amount of things would amount to about half of a shipping container.

Hello,
I have 4 boxes, 1 boxed picture and 1 snowboard bag for shipping from Edmonton, Canada to Adelaide, Australia.
The 4 boxes are a standard large box in Canada (from Home Depot) measuring 18x18x24inches (4.5cubic feet). The picture is a flat rectangle picture wrapped in a cardboard box. I don’t have exact dimensions but it’s about 50cm by 100cm from memory! The snowboard bag is around 2.5m and has a snowboard and boots in it.
The boxes have household items – clothing, bedding, books and pictures.

Can you tell me the most cost effective way to ship this small of shipment?
Thanks,

Nicole

Hi there,

I’ll be in the UK in June to pack up my late Mum’s house. There’s a few items I want to ship back to my home in Cape Town South Africa.

The items will be a Grandfather Clock (which I’m pretty sure can come apart ie., clock off the stand), a small dining table, a plaster head and shoulders bust and some old hi fi equipment.

Doesn’t matter how long it takes to get them to South Africa.

What would you say was the most economical way of going about this, so I pack them all up and they’re collected from the house in Henley-on-Thames Oxfordshire and delivered to my house in Cape Town?

Greatly appreciate any advice you can offer me? …

Many thanks,

Dave J

In a dilemma. We have a large quantity of tools that are essential for job, and about 12 boxes of personal items. We have had quotes of £5000inc for our entire house contents, but am happy to sell items such as settees, washing machines ect what is the best options to keep costs right down. Heads spinning., all from uk to nz. Thank you any help appreciated. K

I am shipping my stuff back to NZ. Part of it includes about 40 cases of pretty good wine. Because of the issue with temperature fluctuation with its journey, I am considering the option of utilizing a reefer container. Do you know of anyone that could handle the logistics behind this?
Does it make sense, or would it just be fine to send it as per normal and try ship outside of the Summer and Winter months.

Thanks Martin

Hello Moving Doctor! I have been trying for over a week to arrange an international shipment and have been unsuccessful. I am trying to ship a box from Madrid, Spain to Piestany, Slovakia OR from Madrid, Spain to the US. The box weighs about 3lbs. (1.4kg) and meausures 8″x11″x11″. If shipping to Slovakia, we would need it to arrive no later than April 5th. If that deadline can not be met, then we will ship the box to the US, and it doesn’t matter how long it takes to get to the US. We would prefer the least expensive option. Can you please help?!?!?!? Thanks a bunch!!!!

Hi I am wanting to move books and personal items from South Africa to Canada. All in all probably under 2 cubic metre squared. I am wondering which is the route to take. I am not sure whether to fly it as excess cargo on the plane or go the route of getting a company to move it as a box. If so I am not sure if and which companies move such a small area as most want them to be 100ft squared. It is the weight of the books that deter me from transporting them via plane as excess baggage or cargo. I am not sure what to do or which route to take. Is there anyway you could advise me, it would certainly be much appreciated.
regards
Pier Luigi

Hello,
I was wondering if you could help me. We’re curious about how much it would cost to ship a queen bed (Mattress and Boxspring) from Lima, Peru to the United States, specifically Florida. Once the bed is in Florida we can pick it up from there. If you could provide other information (via link is okay) regarding customs, time, costs (fees, and is the cost based on size or weight or both), the process (how do we drop it off, how will it be sent, etc) and anything else that would be helpful, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Cheers, Joel

Hello,
I’m moving from Alberta, Canada to either NZ or the UK within the next six months or so.

I am looking to move personal effects which amount to a Library, clothes, some Personal effects (ornaments etc) a few wall pictures (5 or 6) and Perhaps an AO size, pedestal mounted, drawing board.

Excluding the drawing board the consignment amounts to about 4,500 litres or about 2000-2500lbs. So far it is packed in Plastic “rubber maid style tote boxes with Operable lids.
Currently I have been quoted $7500 by one relocation firm, others have been struggling to quote saying that its a rather small amount for a moving company, per say, to move.
This been the case, would a consignment of this size be better sent by a delivery service (UPS/ Purolator etc) or would “self shipping work out more economical?

Hi there, I am looking to move my belongings from Edmonton, Alberta Canada to Leon, Spain. This will include about 15 medium boxes, 3 Suitcases, a sofa and a very lightweight tall thin bookshelf. I may include a dining table/4chairs and a headboard/footboard/rails if you suggest a container. I’m not sure which option is best. If I just have the boxes, bookshelf and sofa would it be better to ship the items individually? Or fill a pod and then ship? Please help!

Hi Mark,
I’m planning on moving back from Germany (Cologne) to the US. When I came a couple of years back I had 2 pallets, arranged everything with a company in the US and they shipped it to by boat, arrived in Hamburg and then brought by truck to Cologne. Now I need to do it back – possibly 3 pallets, but don’t speak German well enough to really know what company is best. Any suggestions?

Hi Doctor, I am trying to move some household stuff from one of the USA east coast ports to Ireland. I do not have enough to fill a 20′ container, and I am trying to avoid some of the ridiculous fees they charge in Dublin Port for handling. I am thinking about buying a 16 foot enclosed trailer with all my stuff in it, and wondering if it would be a cost effective way to do it. I could drive the trailer to the least expensive departure port, and have it picked up at Dublin Port. I would then sell the trailer when I get finished with it. Is this a crazy idea, or would it work? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
