I live in Europe (4 hours drive from Calais) with husband and DS. Moved out here last year for DH’s work. Due to some recent shittiness we have to move back to the UK very quickly; we’re bearing the shipping costs ourselves.
Today is the first day of researching that and I'm feeling a really overwhelmed.
Has anyone shipped furniture (we don’t want to sell everything) from mainland Europe back to the UK? I’d be really grateful for some idea of prices -- it’s a two bedroom flat and although a lot will be sold we’re hoping to keep the basics like our beds, mattresses, dining table and sofa, etc so we’re not starting entirely from scratch when we get home.
Would it be cheaper to hire a big van and take it on the ferry ourselves (not sure if this is even possible!) than going through a shipping company? What are the best companies?
Any pointers very much appreciated
