Rachel - I'm using banana boxes to store things I want to keep in while I clear out the other stuff I don't want. Once I have sold/disposed of the stuff I don't want, I am going to go through those boxes again for one last blitz/clearout then I am going to move them down to the garage and call people out for quotes - they will prolly re-pack everything but it will all be contained for them to give me a more accurate estimate :)

At least that is how I have it all working in my mind :lol:

Rachel - no more updates from me now, I'll have to let Jeraly take over.

Well, I'll come back and give a review of their services when all my stuff gets there, but that seems like a lifetime away.

Aly - I'm having my boxes dropped around tomorrow, because i'm off work, and it's easiest. I've told them that I won't be moving for 2 months, and it's fine. So I don't have to pack and then re-pack all over again.

Oh cool! I know some places pack themselves though - am sure that would be kinda easier but who knows... it's all just up in the air still! Daisy is still causing me hassle though!!

Another shipping thread? But I'm still trying to determine whether or not there is an official February filers thread! :devil:

Please Julez, don't get me started. It's that kind of day! :P

Noticed a deal on All Freights website, £250 for 8 teacrates Door to port in LA. I sincerely doubt I'd get a better deal elsewhere. That's it, I'm sick of shipping companies. Going with them.

They've let me switch 2 of the boxes for book boxes too. :dance::dance::dance::dance:

Out of curiosity what charges are you going to incur at the LA end?

hey lansbury, they said that the port handling fees and customs charges should be between £30-£50. Still a good deal by my calculations!

Yes indeed. I didn't have any idea what the landing fees might have been but certainly that way of doing it seems very worth while to anyone like yourself who is able to collect their stuff from the shippers.

I've been looking at various shipping options and whilst the fees themselves are not huge insurance can almost double the cost in some instances

I have about 600+ DVDs to ship as well as a lot of IT equipment meaning I need about £10000 coverage, will cost me over 500 quid with most the shippers (ouch)

got a good mind to buy some Peli cases and pay for some extra baggage with BA

as I am looking to fly Club world I get 3 bags to begin with, and extra bags are only £60 when booked online, at 32KG each thats a fair percentage of my bulky stuff I can ship (IT books, monitors in peli cases, A/V gear in peli cases etc) and with my REI XXL Duffels I can get a few pelis per bag :)

Thats the option I am looking at at present, and then just ship the stuff that really wont fit anywhere else (although the value will of dropped significantly if I can get my monitors and AV gear in my bags

Is insurance not included in the shipping price then? I assumed it would be - I will have to make sure I ask ><

Yeah - mine isn't of any real high commercial value :)

Also - trying to get this thread stickied but can only have four sticky threads in one forum - any ideas on which one to change? Or leave this one unsticky? What do you think?
