So after 7 years I am finally in a position to be able to arrange for all my stuff I left boxed in my parent's garage be transported stateside, to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to be precise. (we are talking about 20 boxes of books, games, momentoes, lots and lots of lead figures and so on, about half a cargo container in size overall)

However, I have no clue as to cost, regulations, companies used etc.
I have seem a few people mention Express Exports as a cheap firm and wondering if anyone has had any experience with them?

ok 90 views and no response, not a good ad for express exports.
Anyone able to recommend a company they used instead then?

There was another thread a couple of days ago talking about what to bring over to the UK which touched on a couple of moving companies. I can't remember if any company names were given. We shipped about 6 boxes of stuff over and I thought we used M&A Shipping but I can't find them on the web, it was 6 years ago - sorry!

Here's the link for the thread:

Hope it helps!

Hi Johnny B, did you end up using that company or another? I have about 6 smallish boxes of things I'd like to send over, much less than half a container, and not really sure the best/cheapest way to go about it.

It was a few years ago now, but I used Excess Baggage and it went quite smoothly.

Thanks - they seem to be what I'm looking for!
