Hi,

Need to ship roughly 25-30kgs of clothes and small items from London UK to Melbourne Aus. Rough estimate of cost?

Myself and my two sons are moving from Los Angeles to Montreal for a year. I’m driving my small Prius there so I can’t fit too much. What is the safest and least expensive option for sending boxes of all our clothes, paperwork files, small kitchen appliances (blender,2 juicers, stand mixer), dishes, pots & pans, etc? Basically we would like to send everything we use on a daily basis except for our furniture. Also, is it safe to pack and send our 3 desktop computers or do you think I should take that with me in the car?

Moving from eastern Canada to Cologne Germany, how much would it cost to ship about 50 kilos of stuff?

Once we book (U Crate) – can you tell us when the ship will be leaving from San Diego to Germany so than we can use our stuff as long as we can?

And will it be a problem for customs if we are not in Germany yet by the time the ship arrives in Germany?

hi mark,

i would like to ship a package bout 40kg from dublin to toronto

Hi,

Do you ship to South Africa, Johannesburg?
I am interested in either Ubox or crate or luggage.
Let me know what options you have.

I am moving from San Francisco to London. I have a brand new temperpedic mattress I hate to leave behind. And they cost a fortune in England, so replacing it over there is not an option. How much, approximately, would it cost to ship it? I have boxes of books and some kitchen and stereo stuff to ship as well.

We are moving from Eugene, Oregon to Santiago, Chile. We are depating whether to ship air freight or Ocean Freight. We think we will have four bikes and 32 boxes. We are trying to figure out a ballpark price quote and what method of shipping would be best.

Hello,

I am moving from Dubai to Canada and I was wonder if you could answer a few questions. I have been looking for a reliable shipping company and have yet to find one, do you have any that you would recommend? I am also wondering what the approximate price of shipping 5 cubic meters would be?

Thank you

Do you ship to the Caribbean ?

Hello. Im looking to ship out my golf clubs from my relatives in Dublin, Ireland to Brisbane, Australia.

Can you do this? If so what rate and how can I book with you?

I live in Coquitlam B.C. Canada and after 5 years want to return to South Africa, (Johannesburg West).
I have a lot of little things that I would like to take back to S.A. Tools of my husband, kitchen stuff, linen and clothing, lots of books , as well as a wooden kist. I think everything should fit into a U Box of 50 cubic feet. What is the dimentions of the box and also is the cost calculated according to the weight or the dimentions? Would it be more cost effective to pick up the crate from Kazerne, Johannesburg or have it delivered to our home?

Hi Mark,

Hi,

my boyfriend and me are currently living in Canada, but moving back to Europe soon. We are looking to send 3 boxes to Germany (2 with mainly clothes and 1 with our two snowboards) at the end of May. The total weight of all boxes together is no more than 50kg. We have a car, so we can deliver the boxes (we are living in Banff, Alberta at the moment but driving to BC at the end of May). If possible, we want to send the boxes to my parents in Berlin, Germany (either a private address or a business address) as we are going traveling before flying home.

Is this possible with your company? If yes, what are the options and prices?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Anka Matthies

Hello Mark,

We are moving from Surrey, UK to Edmonton, Canada. We have about 10 boxes of household things we would like to be shipped. Can you please let me know an average cost, including tax and any other costs? We have packing boxes etc and would do the packing ourselves.

Thanks
Melinda

Is it possible for you to tell us when the ship is leaving for Germany? We are a little bit flexible for the moving date – it just have to be in June – and the billing has to be in June.
We would like to have everything as long as we can and don’t want to have it hang around in your storage until the ship leaves. Are you able to tell us ahead?

Hi Mark,
This website is a brilliant resource! We are moving back to Toronto, Canada from Blackpool, England in a year from now. We are interested in shipping some items we have acquired: an antique 6 ft church pew, a small antique desk, two guitars in cases, about three large boxes of our daughter’s toys, books, and clothing.
It is a mix of a few things we just desperately don’t want to leave behind, really.
Can I get some advice on how to ship these and your rough estimate of what we should look to budget in for that time? We came 3 years ago with three suitcases and don’t know where to start!
Any advice would be helpful.

Hi Mark,
I am moving from Melbourne, Australia back to the Midwest, USA. We have around 4-5 suitcases that we just cannot bring ourselves to drag across the world back home, so we’re looking at shipping them home as an option. We brought the bare minimum here (from the USA) 2 checked bags, 1 carryon, but found it incredibly difficult to check and uncheck heavy bags several times. Any suggestions on the cheapest way to get our luggage back home to the USA? Thanks so much!!

Hi there,

I am wanting to move the contents of my small three bedroom house from Cape Town to London – what is the cheapest route? A 20ft container seems very big as I am only taking my favourite pieces of furniture (two king beds, four bedside tables,a dining table and chairs, coffee table, side-board and dresser and a small antique chest) and the rest will be just clothes and boxes of kitchen equipment etc.

It seems that self-loading is also the way to go, but I will need door to door delivery.

Thanks for the help!!!!!!! Its such a daunting move to all the advice I can get the better.

Hello,
I will be moving from Georgia, USA to Glasgow, Scotland. I am in missions, so money is tight. I have moved across oceans three times already and usually sell up and just send boxed personal items. This time, I have gotten rather attached to my furniture and feel very sad at the thought of having to start over AGAIN. Can I move a three bedroom home of furniture for a reasonable price? Or, is it cheaper to sell up and buy new again. :/
Thank you
Ann

Where is the terminal in San Diego? We are planning to move from San Diego to Heidelberg- Germany.

Im moving to Texas USA from Scotland in the next two years and would like to take some of my furniture, could you let me know if this is possible and what it would cost, and do I pay tax on them when they arrive in Texas, if so what amount would this be.
Thank you

I have asked for a few quotations for moving two small cabinets filled with family interest papers from London to New York City. The best quotes I have received are about 300pounds, would I get better quotes if i asked a US company? can I trust them to wrap them carefully, and what special insurance should I get

Hi Doctor,

Hullo Dr. Mark,
I would like to know what would be the best way to ship a large trunk with my personal items, from the U.S. to Gibraltar.
Thank you very much

Hi Doctor,

I am planning to ship my antique car to Europe from USA(Las Vegas). Final destination is Hungary. I would drive around for five months and ship it back to Las Vegas.
I have a few questions.
Is it cheaper to ship via container or roll on?
What extra taxes if any I would need to pay in a country receiving my shipment.
I would like to have a door (my home) to door( a hotel service) and can I get an approximate quote?
Will the company handle all my paper work?

Hi there,

I am wanting to move just under 2 cubic metres of my belongings from Berlin, DE, to Edinburgh… Have you any advice as to the best way to go about this?

Many thanks!

I want to ship an outboard motor to my nephew in Ireland. It’s value is $250, wt. is 48# in a wood box, dimentions are 15 x 15 x 40. Fed-x, Dhl, & USPS all very $. Called a “freight consolidator” in NYC he quoted higher than air carriers? Ideas for long, slow & cheap shipment?

Hello,
I need to bunch of thing, and was hoping you could help. I’m shipping personal items from us – 10960 to London, UK.
I was originally considering getting two U boxes from you, which would fit all of my stuff, however I have two very long items that wont fit. One is a metal sculpture in a shape of a ladder – it’s 9 feet tall, 14″ by 14″ and another is a screen that folds into 68″ by 20″ by 12″.
What would be the most economical solution for me? Could you please advice?
Thank you.

Hi, we are moving from wigan, north west England to Regina, Canada around mid July , I estimate I will need a 20 foot container, to be honest we have had some silly quotes, >£6000 if that is cost then we might as well sell up and buy new, but I can’t see the sense in that, could you please advise me of the cheapest option.
Chris

I think your UBox option will be best for our shipping needs. However, if we decide to take 3 bicycles, I’m not sure what the best shipping option is for them. We need to ship from Corpus Christi, TX to Coventry, UK. We will need door-to-door service. For either option – a) UBox only or b) same items plus 3 bikes – about how long do you estimate the shipping time to take? Thank you very much.

I’m looking for the cheapest way to send 2 or 3 baggages and may be a couple of boxes kitchen utensils from Perth Western Australia to Paris/France.
I’ll be very grateful if you could give some tips/ideas, few options, few avenues to explore.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi Mark,
Re: Shipping household goods Georgia, USA to Brisbane, Australia
I am currently drowning in the shark tank of relocation companies and was hoping you could throw me a lifeline:) I’m trying to decide between packing what we can fit into a 20 ft container (basically most of our house) v shipping only the things I do not want to part with. The latter would be some clothes, books, pictures, my daughter’s bedroom furniture, my saddle. As this is a self-funded move, I’m having a really hard time justifying $10,000+ for a full container move, but am also struggling to find a reasonable option for shipping just a few items. Do you, or any of the forum members have any words of experience and wisdom on this?

Thanks in advance

Hi Mark,
I live in Germany and have been here for about 9 years. When I first came over, I was only planning on staying 3 months and I have been here since then! I put all of my stuff from the USA in storage 9 years ago and I want to go through it and ship over some of it when I am in the US in May. (I know I will throw out a lot, but I know there are certian things I want to have.) I was thinking of the U Crate, but my stuff is not 50 miles from one of your locations. What can I do? Also, what happens if I dont fill the entire crate?
Thanks for your help,
Susan

Hi Moving Doctor!

I have a box that is about 1ft 181/2 in X 1ft 23in X1ft 23in and weighs between 50 and 60lbs. I need to ship it from SFO to an address in Johannesburg South Africa (in Verwoerdpark Alberton). It is clothes, a teapot, and other small household items that were my ex’s. I was thinking of using 3 of the pre-paid boxes from USPS that run around $70, however is there a cheaper way to ship the stuff? I know overseas shipping is usually cheaper than overground. I am also worried about theft as I know that Johannesburg is not the safest place. Any advice?

Hi
I’m moving from Belfast to New Zealand in a few months time. What is the cheapest way to send my clothes over there.
Thank you

I would like to send two trunks with personal items to Brazil, to Florianopolis state of Santa Catarina or to Sao Paulo. The trunks are of 1.00×0.5×0.5 meters. I would like to know the price and the time it takes to arrive.

I’m looking for a competitive quote to transport partial household content from Los Angeles to Israel. Estimate between 400 to 600 cubic feet. What’s the best price all inclusive?

Hello – my husband and I and our two young kiddies are moving from Scotland to PEI, Canada. We are trying to figure out the best options for the move – we would like to take most of our furniture and clothing and some odds and ends, but we are not taking any appliances, etc. with us. We also have hubbie’s motorcycle that must come with us. We think probably we could get everything in a half of a 20′ container, but it would be pretty tight. Is it possible to book 3/4 of a container, or would we be just as well to get a sole use container?
Our main concern is cost – we are quite flexible with timelines. We would also be able to pack everything and even bring to Glasgow or Edinburgh port if that’s going to save us a lot. We can also make arrangements to collect from Halifax port and transport to PEI ourselves if that saves us some money.
We have tried to get some quotes from other companies but everything seems purposefully vague. Hopefully you could give me a better idea of what costs are involved – insurance, port charges, etc. And maybe ways that I could save as many pennies as possible. :o)

Thank you!
