Aloha Everyone

    I'm flying over to VN in January 2016 and would like to ship a few household items to meet me there. Can anyone recommend a reliable and affordable shipping service? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
   I don't have a lot to ship. I've listed the stuff below. The boxes will contain mostly books, but also a few things from the kitchen.   

One 6 drawer dresser (two small drawers @ the top).
One barrel chair.
One office chair.   
One Small antique student desk.
One floor lamp (can disassemble).
One antique moving chest (40 x 25 x 24).
Twelve boxes 18 x 18 x 18.   

Thank You,
Sincerely,
Dan

Hello Dan,

Just saw your posting about you moving to Vietnam - don't know if you are sorted already?

In addition to what may have been recommended to you, you could consider to bring your stuff as excess baggage on the plane, it may not be too expensive.

Alternatively, some of the items you mention, like office chair, drawers - unless it has high emotional value for you, it would be something you easily could buy here, as replacements.

Take care.
Tim

Hello Saigontim

   Yes, I have decided to sell the furniture (although it does have emotional value to me) and bring the boxes as extra luggage. Shipping was just too expensive for my budget.

   Thank you for your input.

OK, I hope you will have a great time here. It's a great place to be and live :-).. .

Thank you Saigontim,

   I am looking forward to the new adventure  :)
