I have some questions: we still have quite a bit that we would leave- does thsi have to be moved out when the companies visit (I.e. we have not sorted through anything yet!
We haven't yet even put in our EOI, but decided to get shipping quote for budgeting purposes. We've only had Anglo Pacific in so far just to give us an idea of the cost - which after sharing on the forum seems to be a pretty average quote for what we want to ship.
We just gave some thought ahead of them coming as to the things we knew we wouldn't take, those we would and the 'nice to haves' depending on space. We then explained this to the esimtator. The quote came in at needing a 20ft container, and we would have some spare space for the 'nice to haves'. Personally, I prefer to know the worst case and then work from there. Tell them everything you know you want to take and the maybes and then decide if you think it is worth paying to ship it . Forumites living out there are very helpful at telling what is expensive to replace etc.
