Recommended shipping companies US->UK?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a shipping company from the US to the UK? We were thinking that a UK based company would be best as they'd most likely be familiar with the import customs and...

Re: Moving back and shipping our dog 6 months later?

I think Rusty, our 9-isn year old redbone coonhound will be very happy at my Son's house in Charlotte. A big house, an acre of land, and a friendly face. I'm not sure how Rusty feels about flying,...

Re: Moving back and shipping our dog 6 months later?

We're moving from the US (Charlotte). We'll be retiring and we're not sure where we will live, so we plan on moving around for a few weeks at least. We can leave our dog with a family member in the...

Re: US small appliances in UK

If the device says "50-60Hz" or otherwise mentions both frequencies, then a voltage only transformer is fine. If it just says 60Hz then it may have problems, especially if there's a motor involved...

Re: Moving back and shipping our dog 6 months later?

Sorry, I must be missing something obvious. As I said, I've been through the government site repeatedly and not found what I need.

Re: US small appliances in UK

Getting a voltage transformer is fairly simple, but some equipment needs the right frequency (Hz). I found a converter that will go from 240v/50Hz to 110v/60Hz on Amazon for $40, but it only handles...

Re: Moving back and shipping our dog 6 months later?

Question Moving back and shipping our dog 6 months later?
