How to ship things from the UK?

Is there any way to ship my belongings to the UK if I decide to move there?

  • I probably should have asked, "What's the cheapest way to ship a lot of stuff to the UK"? Moving to the UK is an option I'm keeping open. Just in case I decide to some day (I live in the US). But I never knew how I'd move there when I own so many things that I would NOT want to get rid of. Would I have no choice but to pay THOUSANDS just to ship my stuff over there? I have a ton of video games, DVD's and CD's etc. that I would want to ship. Plus all of my stereo and computer equipment. My girlfriend says I could get a shipping courier. But even THAT would probably cost thousands. All I know is that even when I ship a small 10 lb parcel to the UK it usually costs me between 40-60 US dollars (or more). It's always higher than I expect it to be.

  • Answer:

    Unless you find employment with a company that will pay to ship your things, it really does not make a lot of sense to ship a lot of things to the UK from the US. It might make more sense to store the stuff you really want to keep. I don't know how old you are, but as you get older you may find that stuff is not that important. The cheapest way to ship your things would be surface shipping - by sea. Check with any shipping/moving company and they will be able to point you in the right direction., even if they don't actually do that type of shipping themselves.

Ask a moving company to help you. They would know how to go about doing this. Cheap? Probably not. But look into it so you will know. You do know that your movies won't work on European style video equipment, don't you? Same with CD's.
