Hello all. I researched the forum and found no recent entries regarding shipping house hold goods (HHG) from the US to the Philippines. I have read that most stuff can be replaced over there but to satisfy the better half I need to get more current info. If we did it I know the question is between the cost of selling everything (what you loose) and buy there or keep and ship. Selling here will net probably 20 cents on the dollar for what it will cost to buy new if we are lucky). So a $1000 LED TV that can be used over there (110/240) might net me $200. And of course there are things that just won't sell like mattresses and the items of sentimental value. All of that has to be considered. I figure we would only need a 20' container (maybe less). We're in Norther VA so I'm sure it would ship out of Baltimore. Has anyone out there done this recently from the states and what was the overall cost for the container, shipping, shipping door to door, etc. Also any recommendations on what freight forwarder to use.
