UCrate alternative
Hi all,
I'm moving to the UK next March via Cunard's Queen Victoria so I'll be able to take loads of bags with me on the ship. Since I also don't have a collection of Luis XV vintage furniture, I didn't want to spend tons of money on shipping. I found this new service from Upack-WeShip (which has had some mixed reviews I'll admit); however, this is a crate that you pack and lock and they'll ship to your UK address. So we're packing books etc in plastic containers (from Staples) and have quite a bit of space to pack our sound system (expensive to replace), computers, monitors (big nice and shiny), some bulky bedding and telescopes.
They have two sizes 50 & 100 cu, you take your stuff to their location and pack it yourself, it is then delivered to your UK address.their info below:
Area 50 Cube Crate 100 Cube Crate
Collect U Crate from one of our 88 terminals or load it at the terminal and we ship it through to your curbside in mainland UK. Transit time is approximately 5-6 weeks
Deduct $300 / 50 cu ft & $600 / 100 cu ft crate if you can load at our Charleston SC terminal.
Outside U Crate 50 cu ft dims 43”x48”x42” high, 100 cu ft dims 86”x48”x42” high. Not available in Canada
England $1075 $1731
Ireland $1177 $1760
Scotland $1160 $1742
