Hi all,
Long story short... My immigration to America looks to be coming good soon (just got the medical and interview to see to) so, assuming that all goes well for me, I'll need to ship my life over there.
A little info... I wouldn't say I have a whole household full of stuff to bring with me, I don't intend to bring the furniture, but I definitely have a lot of bits 'n pieces that will need to come along. I guess I have about 1/3 to 1/2 of a house full of stuff. I've been quite fortunate in that I've got family in the States so I've been travelling back and forth between here and there all my life. This being the case I'm aware of the little things like power differences on appliances and certain restrictions for customs and excise. I don't have anything that can't be brought over from here to there due to legalities and appliances that I can't use over there are either being left with family or sold off. I'm not exporting a vehicle of any sort (not even a bicycle) because I figure it's easier to just buy one out there. So, all in all, I don't really need advice on what not to bring. I just need to know how I go about actually bringing my stuff to the US.
Can anyone recommend a good, reliable, reputable company to ship my stuff? And can anyone give me a rough idea as to how much I should be setting aside to pay for this kind of thing? And what sort of timescale would be the average for a door to door service?
Thanks in advance for any help,
J.
BTW I'll be moving from South London to Oregon if that helps.
