    Help!!! Need to send my stuff to Scotland

    Hi everyone!

    I've done organizing and packing my stuff. Now, I need to send my stuff to the UK, like my wedding gown, baby stroller, car seat thru sea freight. Can anyone suggest/advice company who does sea freight?
    Thanks,
    Mel

    DHL or Fed Ex, but you may need to use them along with LBC

    I suggest bring your wedding gown with you, as you don't want to risk of losing it in the post, do you?
    If you'll use LBC or Fedex, freight might be more expensive than the baby stroller & car seat? or you can buy them, when you get here.

    You may send your other stuff via Philippine Post Office.

    Agree to everything you said sis Post office is far cheaper to send your stuff here and safer too, based on my experience
    And as zobel just said, better to buy the baby stroller and carseat here as sending them here might cost you more....

    ya, just go to ASDA and get a new baby stroller and car seat when you get here ... what's the point of sending it? Money for nothing.

    Bring your wedding gown in your luggage ... like someone else said . . . and you'll be fine!

    Don't send anything here unless you can't get it in UK,

    To get an idea of prices in UK, go to asda direct, or just click on this link for the best prices! Just get new ones when you come to UK!

    No Jonathan, I am on spouse visa.My daughter have a british passport so no need for her to get a visa. The reason why I will carry my wedding gown is, my husband insisted to take it with me. Don't know why?really....... I guess he wants to marry me again! lol!
