Shipping companies Germany to US

[Travelbugs 3]

Hey there,

I am looking for shipping/moving companies from Germany to the US (Los Angeles). Who has any recommendations? I won't ship a lot; mainly books, dishes, silverware, towels, clothes. No furniture or anything of that sort.

I have been getting estimates, but so far all of them are outrageously expensive. I had moved a shipping company from the US to Germany before, and it only cost me 350 EUR from LA to Bavaria for 9 small book boxes. I can't seem to find anything alike for the return trip to the US...any ideas?!?

Thank you so much!

Have you considered paying the extra bag fees and bringing them in suitcases? If family comes to visit, they can also do the same. We weren't able to find reasonable prices and the extra bag fee is usually $50/bag and less likely to be lost on the way or delayed at customs.

I was thinking about that as well, and this is most likely what I'm gonna do. I was just so lucky with my shipping company last time moving from the US to Germany that I thought there might be something similar for the way back...yeah, I've been looking around and I definitely don't wanna pay 2000 eur for shipping a couple of boxes.

Thank you for your post!
