Hello, I'm in the middle of relocating to Malta, from South Africa, with my two sons and my mother. Our aim is to be over by the end of the year.
I am actually coming over for 2 weeks to see which area I would want to live in. I arrive next Tuesday. It is my first time on the island so I am excited. My mother is Maltese and was born on the island and has many family members there.
I have been getting quotes to ship our household contents over, however,聽 the price they want to charge us for our contents is just madness.
There are however a number of boxes, some paintings and one or two pieces of furniture that I want to bring over, so I am looking for people in a similar situation,聽 that we could share a container with.
The best time would be at the end of the year but happy to send our stuff sooner or later, to accommodate whoever would be keen to share.
I do have loads of other questions but this will do for now!
Thank you!
Julie

Hi Julie,

Welcome to 禁漫天堂

I invite you to post an ad in the Container sharing in Malta section, it might help.

Thanks,

Julie,
聽 some eight weeks back I had my personal effects shipped out from Cape Town. The consignment which, if I recall was 1.7 cubic mtr and weighing 375kg, cost me in the region of R8500.00.
聽聽聽聽聽聽Rich Muir, Qawra.

Hi Pricilla, thank you, I had already placed an ad there but felt that there was a stronger presence of people interacting under the forums so thought there would be no harm in asking.
Thank you, Rich Muir - I got a very similar quote. I just feel that I would rather buy new furniture and just ship boxes.
Thanks again!

Julia,
聽聽well that's right, all my stuff was books personal effects, no furniture. I thought that was a pretty good rate.

Hi Rich

Can you recall which company you used. This seems like a very reasonable quote to the ones I have heard
