Hi All,

After six years in the US we've decided to return home.

Any recommendations on a good shipper to get our stuff back to the UK from the East Bay, CA area?

Also anyone have experience of taking a car back home? Is worth the hassle/cost? The car is only a couple of years old and the value is higher in the UK than US for the model/age.

Thanks all!

Much demand for left-hand drive models in the UK these days? I doubt you would recoup the shipping costs.

On the south coast, quite a few as it happens. We'll be using it a lot to travel down to Spain and tour Europe. The lefthand drive isn't a huge issue. But rear lamp clusters might have to be changed to meet UK spec.

Shipping-wise I'm thinking we could get a container for car and most of our stuff. Either that or get rid of everything and ship the bare minimum. However, then there's the cost of re-purchase in the UK to consider.

Have you looked in Moving back to the UK section for shipping recommendations?

Thanks, I'll check them out.

doh! Didn't even notice that section of the forum! That would indeed be a good place to start looking. Thanks.
