Shipping Recommendations East Coast to Midlands UK
Hi all,
Looking for some urgent help.
Ive agreed a move with my company back to the U.K. but they’ve dropped at the last minute that I need to ship my own belongings.
Does anyone have any company recommendations that ship from the East Coast (USA) to the Midlands (UK).
Thanks all

We used UPakWeShip from Arizona to Edinburgh. It involves work on your part as you have to put the crate together. 866-868-6386. Also sending some individual heavy suitcases with Uni Baggage.

<div style="text-align:left;">Thanks Caroline! I should have said I’m shipping personal belongings and some furniture - did you use them for that or more boxes?</div>

We shipped boxes that we packed ourselves and 5 pieces of furniture - a bookcase, desk (that came apart), 2 chairs and a sofa table. We hired a storage unit as a staging area to pack the crates. Each crate was 100 cubic feet.

Perfect! Do you mind asking how much it was?
Did they charge by contaner/ value of goods or mileage?

I believe we paid a total of $2700. We shipped 2 crates.

Hey Caroline, quick follow up question.
How detailed was your inventory list eg; x60 boxes of personal belongings vs. 10x books, 3x clothes etc?

Ours was a detailed inventory. I had a document on my phone which I updated as I was packing each box.
