are you taking them on the plane as luggage, excess baggage, cargo? or you shipping them over in a container? Some things can be used with a converter but wouldn't bother with white goods

It's generally cheaper to take them with you rather than have to buy them all again, but use a shipping company as a courier will be much more expensive.

If you do a search you'll find lots of threads on shipping quotes, about Â£4k for a typical size house seems to be the norm.

I believe you need to inform the airline in advance if you're taking your couch as a carry-on.
