American in BG 5 Years Moving Back to US

Post new topic

Hi all -

I've been living in Sofia now for five years and have decided to move back to the US with my Bulgarian husband.  When I moved here I only had a few suitcases, but now, I have acquired a whole two-bedroom apartment worth of stuff!  Can anyone give advice about shipping things overseas?  Maybe if you sent your belongings from America to Bulgaria or the other way round?

Thanks!

Hi, Angie,

I don't know if this will be helpful but when I was moving to Bulgaria from the US, a local (Las Vegas) company made me a quote for the shipment.

In Bulgaria, I received my stuff through Despret: - despred.com/ (I think their site is only available in Bulgarian)

This was 5 years ago but I think it's worth a shot :)

Best of luck!

Hello,

I hope is not to late, I can suggest to ship your things with a boat. It takes 35-40 days, and you do not have to rent the whole container, it can be group with other shipping. Wish you all the best.

Thanks everyone! I'll have a look into your suggestions.  I looked at Orbit and Pickford, but they were really expensive.
