make sure you insure for replacement value,

loss adjusters will halve the value you give anyway,

all ours was brand new and unused, it was the little things like underwear and CDs that cost the most to replace !!!

Thanks for the link (http://www.excess-baggage.com/).
We have decided to get rid of everything to avoid all the aggro and start a fresh,still needed to send personal effects photo's, tools, etc.perfect solution.

Who are you shipping your stuff with i am thinking we will need a 20ft container now, gone from taking nothing to taking everything omg this does do your head in lol

Do you think that price is competitive?
Also does it include packing and unpacking?
Thanks

Re: shipping our stuff

There are thousands of informative posts about shipping on BE. Have a search, and a whole new world will open up for you.

There is a very detailed post going at the moment by bigAPE about shipping cars. Shipping a Vespa might be more than its worth. If you cannot bear to part with it, OK, but if you want to take it for fun, think carefully.

It doesnt work out much cheaper taking part containers, and it normally means that you have to wait longer before you get your belongings at the other end (if you share a container)

Use the search button, and you can also get a good idea of recommended shippers and rough costings as well.

Any question that you can imagine has been asked at some time on BE so searching will always turn up some answers, but whatever you do NEVER ask about the price of lettuce or bannanas

Good luck, and welcome to BE
