If I want to ship a load of clothes and possessions home a few months before I leave the US for the UK, what's the best company/service to use? There is so much stuff here that I want to send some stuff home before I leave so that I don't overdo my baggage allowance.
Believe it or not I shipped about 25 large boxes of stuff at the end of my program to Canada. I found UPS to be the best option, because it was fast, tracked, fairly reasonable in price, and it was close to the commons. As for the UK, you might want to shop around or check rates online
You'd probably be cheaper doing what a girl I know did and just paying for her mum to come over and meet her and using her baggage allowance to take stuff home.
when i worked in nj last summer, some girls shipped a crate home to ireland im not sure what company they used but the crate was massive and cost about $150 i think cus it went be sea so took a while. they were able to share it between 3 of them so turned out dead cheap! i plan to do the same when i finish at disney becuase im gettin my flight home from jfk 2 weeks after leaving orlando an dont fancy dragginh 6 months of junk round with me!
