removal companies

One of our family friends is from the United Kingdom. He recently married a Thai school teacher and is planning to sell his house and move permanently to Thailand. I do not envy his need to research the house removals company . I suspect that most will not offer international shipping. And even for those that can safely ship his belongings to Thailand, I imagine that the price may be prohibitive. If I were in his shoes, I might first try to limit the amount of things that need to be moved. For example, he might just do a thorough inventory of his home. Then he can make an item by item decision as to what he really needs and wants with him in Thailand. Then, to the extent that he identifies things that he does not want or need , but that still remain in good condition, he could have a yard sale, sell the items on Ebay or donate them to charity.
I suppose that the first step will be to collect some quotes to get a sense of the potential magnitude of the costs. The amounts quoted may then have an impact on your willingness to part with certain marginally valuable items. That is, if you like something enough and the marginal additional shipping costs is low, then maybe you keep the item rather than throwing it out or trying to sell it.
