have my own house here in London, which I'm going to rent out when I finally move over to the States. However I would really like to ship some furniture over if it's not too expensive, as the thought of leaving my lovely house and all my possesions (Including about 150 pairs of shoes!!!) To then arrive in the States clutching only 2 suitcases fills me with dread.

Therefore my question is, does anyone know roughly how much it would cost to ship a container approx 12 ft by about 5 ft?

Also if that is too expensive what about a container roughly 3 ft by 4 ft that you could use for books. CDs, shoes etc?

Do they go by size or weight or both?

I don't mind if it takes 3 months to arrive, but it would be really nice to have a few of my own possesions with me eventually.

Has anyone done this and can share their exprerience with me?

Any rough estimates would be really appreciated I just want to see if it's affordable or too expensive to justify doing.

Hi,

You could try a company called excessbaggage.com. I got really competetive quote from them (not that I've shipped anything over yet!) They go by size rather than weight.

I believe JayLenBrit used them - you could always PM here, I'm sure she'd be happy to help.

Good luck on your journey :yes:

150 pairs of shoes?!?!?!?!

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.
