shipping - only need to take a small amount, how do we do this
Hi,
have been reading about people paying for a 20 ft container, we need to ship the equivilent of about 6 tea chests. We are not going to bother with furniture.
Has anyone just shipped a small amount like this and how much did it cost. This will mainly be our keepsakes etc.
Thanks Tara
