I am from the US so I cannot help you on exact info but I shipped all my personal items in balikbayan boxes to a friend here & I was here before they got here. I do not think it pays to ship big items coz furniture is inexpensive here to buy but maybe someone from the UK will give you better advice

Hi Tel,I am in the same situation.Shippers only show interest in quoting if imminently ETD. I am still undecided. Sorry.I have had 2 figures for shipping a 20ft. £3,300 and £4,500 so drat!!!. IMOMy home in PI is furnished but I would like some of my Fav. pieces there when I fully retire to PI probably 2 years hence.Boxes cost £55 and a large £110 and are a good way to send small items.Welcome to Xpat and more info later from me will follo1.UK Tom Edited June 3, 2010 by Singers

Do you know how many CBM (cubic) you would send? If you only send a few items then send by balikbayan boxes, but if many, send by crate or container as balikbayan boxes tends to seem cheap but ends up more costly in the end. A bud of mine did that (well many does) and ended up paying more than 8Kusd, like 3-4,000 more than needed. Send me an email and ill get you a good quote.
