Shipping from the UK
Our stuff was packed about the same time of year (2 years ago....if that makes sense!!) and it didn't arrive until the following February!!! The problem was that we had a part container instead of a whole container. They had to leave the container sitting at the docks somewhere waiting for the rest of it to be filled up by someone elses stuff. My advice, go for a whole container.
Shipping time from the UK is something like 22 days if my memory serves me correctly, so if you have a whole container to yourselves, there shouldn't be too much delay in it arriving. As for customs, there were no problems - we shipped CDs, DVDs etc and the boxes were not even opened.
Good luck with your move.

Re: Shipping from the UK
It took 5 weeks for our stuff from Midlands. Make sure your stuff is in air-conditioned storage if you have to store it. Also make sure that appliances/electronics are insured to be in working order. Some of our furniture discoloured because of the heat.Mutley wrote:Hi,
