Our shippers have quoted us £7,402 for packing then moving all our furniture all 1,000 cubic feet of it, to England. Plus 1.5% of the cost for insurance against theft/damage. This is a lot of money. But the value of our gear is IRO £18,000.

The shippers say that even if we reduce the amount to, for example, 800 cubic feet we will still have to pay as for 1,000 as it is a steel container. However, they say if we can reduce our furniture down to 600 cubic feet, we'll be paying far less.

Our dilemma is, what if we sell off 80% of our furniture as second hand and instead bring back 2 well loved sofas, dining table and 6 chairs, and my Kymco - and then buy NEW gear in England? The reason is, furniture is by far cheaper in England than in Kalymnos.

I suggested to my family to bring it all back because some of it is very loved. But they are vacillating (and driving me crackers!!).

Any suggestions appreciated.

I would buy the new gear in England as you suggested - it will save you some money, surely? Bring back the 2 sofas, dining table and 6 chairs along with you're Kymco. Do everything you can to save yourself some money, because the way things are going here in the UK, you're going to need it!

Talk to you're family, tell them they are driving you crackers! Lol - just be honest.
Do what you feel's best for your moving situation?
