Default Shipping boxes?

I'm planning on shipping several boxes of books, etc back to the UK next year and am just wondering if there is a specific type of boxes that would make things easier? I'm not sure if there is are standard dimensions they prefer for packing into crates or on a pallet. Does thiis type of thing look ok?

Heheh I know I'm probably being overly anxious about all this. I'm just starting to get worried about costs and dealing with shipping companies.

Thanks a bunch

Hi,

We used a company calles SevenSeas Worldwide when we moved from UK to Australia. We only took 8 boxes of stuff and found this company to be very good. They actually supply the boxes and bubble wrap and tape... along with all the relevant forms to fill in. It is all very easy and once you have packed the boxes they arrange to come and collect them from you. If you have any left over empty boxes they will take those away also.

The link is http://www.sevenseasworldwide.com/

Hope this helps.

Wendy
