| As far as I can recall when my container arrived there was not a lot of procedure to be followed. Are you getting a door to door service, or are you collecting from the port? Door to door is better, then the agent this side has your contact details, contacts you and arranges for you to collect / deliver to your house. As far as I know there is nothing to pay. We had a minimal charge on a used electrical item i.e. stereo - a few pounds - can't remember why... All your expenses should be paid in the UK. Do you have a house already? What area are you going to live? I'm just an interested fellow Essex Girl and am very nosy!!! |

caroline welcome back 
are you shipping your crippled cats with the container? i guess it wouldnt make much difference if a blind cat is out in the sun or in a closed box with some holes for air.

give it time; seems its inevitable for any of your pets to suffer some sort of disability.

i didnt know that caged animals flying were separated into classes. i feel like they're just yanking your chain and ripping you offf with that one. they just throw the cages wherver they find them and hope none of the cages brake loose and an animal starts killing all the others (deaf and 3 legged cats are quite the prey).
anyway always fun to catch up with you caroline. wish you the best with your moving process! |

We are possibly going to move to Lapta (or near by) as I have a friend that lives there already, my plan is to live in the north but work in the south but i need to look a lot more into it. then i have the issues of applying for citizenship and working visas. If anyone out there can offer any advice/help please mail me at adrian.ainsworth@ntlworld.com
Thanks in advance   |
