MJ ponders about her collection

Jun 11, 2006 15:15

Well today I updated my CD/DVD database. Officially I have 578 CDs and 238 DVDs. How in the bloody hell I´m going to pack all that, plus my mini library (yep I have a ton of books too), my star wars collection, my so what! collection, my PC, my Metallica fan cans and my clothes and have them sent to the part of Europe I´ll settle ( Read more... )

You can ship stuff by freight ships/planes/trains. Seriously, in tons of stuff. After a certain weight of stuff it gets cheaper again, so if you have a lot of stuff, you might as well make sure you have a LOT of stuff. It gets cheaper in the end :p (it might still cost you nearly a month's wages though, or half a month, depending on how much you earn and how much you have, so better start saving).

Too tired (okay, lazy) to look for a site that might help you right now, but will do tomorrow. Unless someone else beats me to it.

Oh gosh, poor you. That reminds me on my move to Hamburg :S I knew I would give up 70m² and have to pack all my stuff into 11m². HELL! I am not so experienced with shipping or sth. I mostly had the luck to have friends with biiiiiiiig cars who helped out. I dunno how far you will move but I wish you much luck :) Moving can be fun! :D It´s such an adventure, miiihihihihiihihi! And I can say that.. after the 10th moving *whistles*

Hehe, you definitely need to send it all by ship. Plane would be too expensive and I am not sure there are that many trains between Mexico and Europe. Ship is the cheapest way, but it is not cheap at all. They do it different ways; Some do weight or volume and some offers you a container to a certain price, and then you can just fill it.
When I had my stuff shipped to Norway, I used a container. It was the cheapest way for me. It costed around 3500 Euro to get all my furnitures and 30 boxes and some air (I didn't fill the container, but it was still the cheapest way) up to the north of Norway.

A friend of mine moved all her stuff from Denmark to Australia for half what I paied to get to Norway, so it might be cheaper if there is a lot of transportation between the countries anyway.
Take a look around the different companies. It might be cheaper from Mexico to get it all to US and then to Europe - or maybe not, I have no idea - just trying to say that you need to look at strange combinations to get it transported cheapest.

Good Luck
