We have about 75 Kg of clothes and books that we would like to ship to America. What Freight company would you recommend and how much do you reckon it would cost?

Thank you all for your input.

Yes it's another shipping thread

The whole shipping thing is confusing. Air freight goes by weight and is fast. A load on a ship is more about the space it takes up in a container rather than how heavy it is. Doesn't sound like you have that much weight. Paying for extra bags on the flight sometimes works out better for people. Sometimes just mailing parcels works for people.

I've booked my shipping to Phoenix with Excess-Baggage. They had the cheapest quote and based on the good reports from VisaJourney I decided to go with them. They quoted £458 including delivery of the cartons and collection once they are full and ready for shipping. The quote is for 24 cubic feet made up of 6* 2 cubic feet book cartons, 1* 3 cubic feet clothes carton and 1*9 cubic feet carton. The service is door to door by ship.

I placed the order yesterday and the cartons were delivered this afternoon with plenty of tape for sealing them and bubble wrap for packing.

I have booked collection for November 20, a couple of days before I depart on November 22. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to be shipped but I am working on probably 8 to 12 weeks.

Just a note. If you are shipping to the US and you are collecting from the airport.....they only allow you to ship goods if your a PR.

If it's not much, pay the excess baggage with your airline. Virgin only charge £75 per extra bag.
