hi im new here but already i have learned a few things of future use long may it continue i wish i found this site three yrs ago when i first met my girl in philippines but i purely found this site by accident browsing the net for container services from uk to philippines
its been tough at times the long distance and the lack of information regarding serious stuff like laws visas to everyday stuff regarding travel or things that may be usefull about the philippines
my question today before i bore everyone who may take the time to read this has anyone reliably used a container service to ship household goods etc to there
i think ill need to hire a 40ft container i wish to take at least one car prob a pick up truck several large household goods tools etc
im hoping to be able to fill it to the brim then sell tthe surplas stuff there {a permit is needed for the equivalant of a garage sale very small fee} to help pay the container costs
many things are cheap there as many will know but often complete junk
but even the junk is expensive by uk prices so i want to work out the cost effectiveness of a container
mainly a car well pick up truck as cars are expensive even stuff you buy here for few hundred quid is few thousand there and generally had it
you have all seen it for yourselves
ive just spent three weeks at our new house there fixing all the water pipes electrics and waste pipes windows etc you may think this man has bought a run down place but by there standards its really ok
nothing seems to be fitted or repaired how i like it and simple things like decent power tools etc dont seem to exist
i borrowed various bits from the local hardware store grinder file bought other basic chinese made tools all rubbish a neighbours drill again rubbish so i would really like to send over my own stuff for the future as i plan to spend more and more time there later on in life
any advice welcome mark
