Fitting it all in the container!
We've got PSS coming in less than 2 weeks and I'm starting to panic about fitting everything we need in the container. The various shippers estimated that we have around 1,100 cubic foot of stuff and that a 20ft container holds about 1,030 cubic foot.
Have people found that the estimator tend to always overestimate and that when the container arrives everything fits in or are the estimators more accurate than that? I'm trying to decide just how much stuff to place in the "maybe" pile of things that we'll leave out if the container becomes full. Thanks GLR |

Hi Our container arrived a couple of months back and how it all fitted in still makes me wonder. All I can say is packers are bloody good at what they do, we had so much stuff it was unreal, and then just before it sailed I added a dining suite to it, and it all arrived. Jenny |
