For those of us/you who have recently been approved at the interview, I was wondering if you have come across some sensibly priced shipping options, that will allow us UK based people to ship a lot of our belongings out to the US. Surely this can't be the first time this has been asked but I have searched a lot on the internet for UK companies that ship to the USA but as yet my instinct is telling me I have not looked in the right areas....anyone know of good uk shipping companies to take my possessions out to the USA???

I'm happy for you to do it, I think it always means more to people that are still waiting than those who have gone through it already. I was only updating it anyway since it had been so long. Maybe you should PM julez and just let her know that you can do it from now on.

Congrats Susie K!!!!!!!!
