HI,
We have only a few boxes to move over to spain. Does anyone know of removals who do this maybe by the square meter space?
Thanks Miss Naughty :)

most international removers take small loads. but first think if you really wont what you are sending most thing's we take to Spain we never use, good luck.

Depends on the quantities you want to move. If its only boxes of stuff and you can pack it into smaller boxes then you can send a roughly 18" x 18" x 18" not weighing over 50lbs (45cm x 45cm x 45cm not over 25kg) for £25 or if you can put it on a pallet you can ship a pallet for about £180 UK to Spain. At least this is what I was told by a friend who works for a parcel company in the UK. If you are interested I'll email him for out more info. Let me know!

Hi,
Sorry no it's not they actually come in my hand luggage :D

I have been spending money on household items forgetting that we are driving over and we now have no room to take it all.

We are taking all the electrical gear with us, t.vs, pc etc and clothes. And the rest kitchen items and vases plus all our other stuff, i need just a small space in a van/lorry to bring over.

I bought some chair beanbags for our spare sitting room and did not think they would of came with the beans etc in them ha ha and they are huge. ;)

I am interested in this too - where do you have to get your shipment to? I have some boxes and one or two small items of furniture - I have just sold a holiday home in the UK and although I have got rid of much of the bulky stuff because I want to buy new in Spain there are lots of lovely pictures, decent bedding and towels - kitchen stuff - too good to end up at Oxfam. We too thought about driving but I don't think it will all get in our estate car and my partner does not really want to drive if it can be avoided.

My daughter has used this firm twice for part loads and found them very reasonable, curtious, and on time for both pickup and delivery.

HERE UK and Spanish phone numbers are on the contact page.

In view of Subsequent posts i guess this isn't needed but the £180 price is still fairly current I'm told. Quotes are done depending on where to where so if you are interested let me know the info. The £25 for 25kg to anywhere in Europe is http://www.parcel2go.co.uk/euro.asp I believe its door to door also.

Breakwells are based in Kidderminster in the West Midlands, they will arrange pickup in UK but that is extra price, Basically if you get yourself a pallet, bang all your stuff in Boxes on it and Spin tack (Plastic wrap), your best bet is to ring Vikki at Breakwells and she will give you all the info etc
