Half or Shared container advice Florida to UK

Re: Half or Shared container advice Florida to UK
Depends on whether there is a big difference in price between a shared container and a full sized one, if it's a lot cheaper than it's worth ditching stuff but if not then it's worth just putting it in the container. My other concern is that I would still have to find a way to dispose of left over things I don't take and household removals can be expensive too. The result might be not much of a saving.

Re: Half or Shared container advice Florida to UK
I recently posted the cost of a twenty foot container on the UK forum.
Total cost was around $2800, we are around 120 miles from Norfolk VA and the final destination is the West Midlands.
We do our own packing and loading / unloading at both ends.

Re: Half or Shared container advice Florida to UK
Years ago (at the dawn of widespread internet/web information) I phoned a shipping company (I believe it was Mason's) in Seattle for shipping household goods from Baltimore back to the UK. We got a 20' container brought to our door & 2 hours to load it (ourselves) for about $1,500. The container was on the ship the same day, arrived in London 9 days alter, and we then collected it from the depot a couple of days after that. I'm not sure whether that would even be possible today, but worth a try.

I was offered a PTO Buzz Saw yesterday for $300 but I have no tractor..
Spent a couple of hours with my chainsaw, buzz saw is looking attractive!

There is no emergency stop only turning off the tractor which is not close to the saw itself.
I like those firewood processors but they are pricey.
