Shipping goods to London

Jefferson Darcy

Can anyone assist with the best option for shipping a bunch of cartons to my new place in London?

I see that Anpost seem to do it at a reasonable rate, but info on their site is rather sparse. I'm not really sure if I'd need to take my boxes down to the local post office.

This other place http://www.shippingpersonaleffects.com is more expensive, but seem to do the whole service.

Lastly, does anyone know where I can get some cartons?

Argos, if I remember, do useful cardboard storage cartons... but if you use an end to end packing company, I think they offer to pack for you and supply cartons etc. - it's all to do with the sizes that fit in their container shipments.

www.postvan.com/ie does collection in Ireland. Door to Door.... 50Kg costs €50.

How much are you sending?

Thanks Lump, looks decent.

Max circumference of 2m may prevent me using the cardboard boxes I had intended though. I plan to load about 3 of those with books, clothing, shoes and other odds and ends.

In case you ever decide to read this thread, any chance you could send over the 40 euro you owe me!!!
