Hi,
My family and I are moving from San Diego California to Uppsala Sweden in July.
We plan on taking maybe 20 boxes of books, clothes, small things and toys. No furniture; just boxes. Maybe we will have some things that are too big for a box like a snowboard. We would like to pack ourselves.
What would be the best and economical way to ship these? Shared container? And what would be the cost involved? Paperwork involved?

How can I get 8 packs of laminate flooring collected from Palmview and shipped to Woking, England at a cost effective price
There is no hurry for the goods, so shipping rather than air would obviously be cheaper.
Please advise
Regards

Hello- I want to enquire about a small shipment. I would have 3 computers in their original boxes, one printer box, 2x 2 cubic foot book boxes, a flat packed A0 picture (piece of studio work that we would pack between two boards), and perhaps a suitcase of clothing. I have no furniture, or large domestic pieces.
Do you think this is too little to consider shipping with you? And do you think you could quote from the above list?
Thanks,
Quentin jones

How much is it roughly to move from the uk to the usa with 3 bedrooms

Hello! My family and I are moving from Denver, Colorado to Sydney, Australia in June.
We plan on taking 15 boxes of books, clothes, and some glassware. No furniture; just boxes.
What would be the best and economical way to ship these? Shared container? And what would be the cost involved? Paperwork involved? We need to move things mid-May.

Thank you,
Maria.

Hi! My family and I are moving from Roanoke, VA to St. Andrews, Scotland. We only plan on taking about 15 boxes of books, a rocking chair, and our clothes. Would you suggest the pod(s) for this? Also, how long does the shipping take? We plan to arrive at the end of August. The books need to get there by mid September. What would be optimal shipping date? Thank you!

Hello, I’m looking for a rough estimation on who much it would cos to ship a dining room table and four chairs from the UK to NZ please?

I am moving from Chattanooga, TN to Bogota, Colombia, hoping to get a 20ft container’s worth of household goods door-to-door. I have one quote from a company in NY for $7,850 USD plus $1,100 USD to have them professionally pack all.
I suspect that this is a somewhat inflated price but am not sure. As I am traveling ahead of my wife and family, I will not be able to self-pack, and will have to take the option to pay for company pack. Is the $7,850 price reasonable to go from the southeast US across the Gulf of Mexico to Colombia? Others have shipped half way around the world for less I think… Am I out of touch?

Thanks

Hi Mark!

I’m actually just interested in moving one large box of an estimated 50 pounds or so, from Los Angeles to Kent, Ohio.
Is there any way you guys could help me with this?
What is the process, and what would be my cost for this, approximately?
Thank you very much!

Hi Mark
we are moving a small 3 bedroom house from bryn mawr PA to England at the begining of August. I am starting to pack now as I leave july 7th with the kids and my husband will follow in august, but i will have the majority of the house packed before i leave so all he has to do is load it up. My first question is, can i use the plastic storage totes or are cardbaord boxes better (non-slip) ?? secondly, we do not have that much stuff in boxes but do have 3 beds, mattresses, chest draws, dining room table – what if we do not fill a 20ft container ??
also – with regards to a packing list – do i write a seperate sheet for each box in detail or can i say box 1 = toys box 2 = books

thank you
regards

Hi, I have some items in storage in the UK (Newcastle-upon-Tyne) with Safestore but I’m looking to ship the contents out to my home in Thailand.

I currently rent a 75 sq ft room, but it’s certainly not full and I could fit the items into 50 sq ft (maybe 60 sq ft maximum). Could you tell me how much I should expect to pay for a full door (or storage)-to-door service?

I have no urgency for the items, so I could wait to share cargo space. I’d need the team to take items out of the hold, load them into the truck/container, arrange shipment to Thailand and then move them from the port (and through customs) to my front door in Pattaya.

Lots of info I know, but if you can provide me even a rough estimate I’d be very grateful.

Kindest regards,

Ian

Hi

I have to move in August/September from Bad Nauheim ( Germany) to Columbus ( Ohio, United States of America).

How should I plan with this. My company would pay the entire costs for the movement. They would also give me storage for 2 months in the US.
When I leave Germany, I would not have found a house in US yet and I would take the 2 months storage my company would pay.
please advise.
Regards

Hello!
I am moving from the US to Ireland. I will not be taking any furniture or household goods, only clothing, fishing gear, and important personal papers and trinkets.
I need to have the cheapest option(s) available. I will be packing everything myself, BUT, as I have sold my car, will need pickup from the house I am living in. When my things arrive to IRL, they can be picked up, no problem.

I am leaving in 2 weeks, so I need immediate options.

Thank you so much, Dr!!

We currently live in St. Petersburg, FL (close to Tampa) and are moving our family to Lusaka, Zambia in Africa. Do you provide services there? How far in advance do we need to book? How long will it take items to arrive?

Thanks,

Hello, I am planning to move to Bavaria, Germany this summer. I want to pack a few boxes of household items, books, framed art prints. I won’t be shipping any furniture. I wondered how large the UBox is on your site. How much can it hold?
Is it more cost effective to pay the extra fees to the airline to ship these things with me when I fly?

Thanks

How long does it take to ship a 20ft container from LA to London?

Hello moving Dr
I’ve been living in Boston MA for the past 3 years, and I’ve just suddenly decided to move back home to the Middle East. I want to sell my furniture, donate my kitchen appliances, and move about 6 bags worth of clothing with me.
where is the best and fastest place to sell furniture?
should I get pay extra to add more luggage with me on the plane, or is it cheaper to get a moving company for the bags?
And do u have any suggestions on where to donate my appliances?

Hi there
I moved to the Boston metro west area from Dublin just under 2 years ago. The move was paid for. Now – due to unforseen circumstances, I’m moving back to Dublin. This is an ‘own’ move. I need to do this on a tight budget, and am willing to pack this end. I need professional packing for dishes and glasses objects, and furniture wrapping. I’ll need a 20ft contaner and am flexible for a date in early to mid June. I’ll need ublaoding the other end – one desk and one shelf assembled, and 3 dressers brought upstairs if it saves to do this on my own the other end. I’ve contacted about 8 different companies and the bids are not consistent. There’s a wide difference between some companies. Can you help? Can you tell me what’s my best options. I read that you are the expert! Thanks. Orla

Hello Moving Doctor,

Thank you!

Hi,
I’m trying to get the cheapest quote …
Ok we are moving to porto and need our stuff picking up from London, north, manor house….easy access ….we live in an old converted warehouse. We need it taking to porto. Portugal. The access too is easy enough, and the house is right near the central train station.
Ok I have three large suitcase of personal items, shoes and clothes, a big box of books, my boyfriend has a small suitcase of clothes, a couple of pictures, a slim doored shelving unit, a smog fridge and a set of four stacking table chairs, and an extra box or two, bedlinnen. And a coffee table.
You you give us a reasonable quote. As you can see it is nowhere near enough stuff to fill a house, it is blearily enough for a bedsit.

Hi Mark.
I’m moving back to Brazil at the end of the month and still don’t know how to send my things back home.
My move is small for a container but too big for regular international shipping.
What would be the best choice for me?
I want to ship about 5 extra large boxes (bicycle, 40″tv, some electronics, clothes and personal things)
I’d appreciate your help in this matter.

Hi,
My family will return to Hungary and I need to send some of their belongings (books, clothing and a bunch of hand tools). The tools are mostly small size (for jewelry) but there are a heavy one, too (56 lb.).
I’d like to ask your advice about the most economical way to ship them to home in July. It isn’t time sensitive.
Later I will follow them and I will need to ship my belongings, including a small “workshop” (some power and hand tools, small workbench) and a couple of guitars.
Again, I’d like to know about the most economical solution.
The problem is that I can’t even estimate the volume and weight of the shipment yet. 🙁
Thanks,
Ivan

What do you estimate it might cost to ship a baby grand piano and about 20 small boxes from Vancouver Canada to palm Springs California?

My dad is moving to Paris from Oregon. He has two hospital beds he would like to take with him. Someone told me today that you can’t take mattresses with you. Is that true? If so, obviously it wouldn’t be worth the expense to send much of anything since these are the most expensive items.
Thanks.

hi there, i have a question. im looking to see how much you think it will cost to send a car from mexico to australia.?

Hi Mark,

I need to send two chairs, a couple of boxes and some kitchen spice racks, larder unit etc to Invecargill, New Zealand from Durban, South Africa. Please will you help me with some solutions.

I’m going to be moving to Scotland in June. I have less than 50 cubic feet (estimate) to move, including 4 pieces of (small) furniture. Can these (furniture) be moved in a uCrate? Are there better options? I would be willing to forgo the furniture if it makes a huge cost difference.

I don’t care how long it takes to get items there, cost effective shipping is of primary concern.

Other companies have said THEY must pack for customs reasons. My assumption is that customs could charge whether I pack or a company packs – I’m not sure what the difference is.

I don’t have a vehicle large enough to carry all items to a terminal, so door to door is ideal.

Lastly; on the receiving end, a ferry is required to get items to the town (unless a long road drive is preferred!); will all-inclusive quotes cover the cost of this – or would that end up being an add on charge?

Hello,

Hi, I am a citizen o the US and Europe, born in the US lived most of my life in Europe, now I was living for 10 months in The Us and I am wondering how to pack my stuff? any advice? do you know what are resetteling rules ?

Hello Mark,
I am in the middle of moving to the USA – my 29 cubic metres of personal effects ie 1 20 foot container, arrived in New jersey, NY on 19th March, Allied Intl didn’t let me know for a few days, I was only meant to be up for customs charges, anyways it seems my stuff has been selected for a full US Customs exam and they are saying I am up for a $2,000US customs fee plus $165 a day shipping container fees plus other fees,none of which have ever been shown or explained to me, and if I don’t get my stuff Thursday this week then I am up for all these extra fees, when I paid fort a door to door service. My questions are a. if its customs who have been holding onto and inspecting my stuff all this time, am I up for extra demurrage charged by the day? b. does US customs really charge $2,000US to inspect my 29 cubic metres of stuff and c. can Allied just charge me what they like, against a list of costs I have never seen, or are there agreed maximum rates they can levy? d. I thought I got 5 days of free time, is this the case? All the best, David Rook.

Evidently I need about 4.5cbm space in a container for furniture going form Cape Town, South Africa to Vancouver, Canada. Can you please let me know the best rate possible and aprox. timing( of less importance to me than price).
Many thanks.
