Moving to Romania (shipping items)

Hiya,
Try parcelbroker.co.uk.
Worked with them twice and went very well.

Cheers, Charles

Hi Aaron,

If you haven't already booked your flight, you could look at car sharing with someone and get your stuff transported cheaply (as well as yourself). For example, I saw one guy on one site driving back to Constanta from Wales offering seats for about 150 quid. Someone like that would probably be able to stop in Bristol and again in Targu Mures (you're moving there, right?). I might not feel comfortable letting the boxes travel alone though, considering their apparent high value.

Hi Mike!

I have indeed already booked my flight.

Car sharing wasn't something I thought about even before as it would be SUCH a long journey.

But thanks for the suggestion

Hi aaronlroberts,

Have you think about container sharing? Feel to post an advert in the Classified in Romania, Community/Container Sharing this might help.

Thank you,

David.

Hi,i can help you with some phone numbers for romanian companies who transport goods,packages and others stuff from London to Romania.Usually they charge you 1 pds/kg ,so if your boxes are around 80 kg you will pay 80 pds.The problem is that where you want to send them in romania someone must be there to take them.My daughter live in London,she send me packages to me with them and is not so much .Anyway,if you need help just write me and i will trie to help you.Good luck and welcome to Romania!

Thanks a lot for the response.. unfortunately, I'd have to get them to London first and then to Romania (I'm based in Bristol which is the South West of England)

It would cost a fair amount to get it to London and then out to Romania.

Hi there, did you try the link I posted with the parcel brokers?
Not sure if it's going to be under 100 quid but might be worth a try.

cheers, Charles

Aaron have you thought of calling your Embassy and asking them the necessary questions?  I would hope that whatever info they will give you it will be more accurate and more pertinent since you are also of the same culture!

Shipping and logistics are not within the scope of interest or responsibility of a diplomatic mission.
