We are looking at around the same cost to ship in a 20x20 container from London.

How much do you want to ship? Check out 'Excess Baggage' for very reasonable rates. But, not for shipping your entire house or anything.

That's the kind of quote I had the 1st time.

I'm pretty sure it's the people at the link above that gave me a cheaper quote.

Let me know how you get on

I am only shipping CD's, DVD's and clothes and my boxes arrived on Monday - just need to start packing them. I am using Excess Baggage, as I have friends who work for the firm, so they are trying to get me a good discount.

Looking to go next month, its all getting very real now and family have already started crying.

Try Whites as long as your not shipping vehicles they were fabulous with our household possesions but didn't secure motorbike properly three weeks of bouncing around at sea and one poorly fireblade later. Household goods all arrived in one piece and their service is excellent.
