Hello All, I am counsellor with over 12 years experience specializing in parenting, families, youth and mental health. I answer questions in a blunt and straightforward way so if you are looking for coddling or really touchy feely type advice thats not me I provide real solutions for your problems and concrete suggestions in other words I tell you the plain truth I don't sugarcoat.
I am really worried these days with the easy access to the internet and all the false information that is out there and the fact that people believe it!! So please ask first. I don't claim to have all the answers but I can claim that NOTHING will shock me you can try though :)
I look forward to hearing you thoughts and questions.
advice
i've bought lots of furniture for my apartment online for really cheap, which is helpful 'cause i don't make much money. i really want to move to a foreign country and take all of the furniture with me. i heard that you can't take more furniture than you can fit into your car to the country (i'll be driving, not flying, to the foreign country). selling the furniture i have isn't worth much because it's all kind of old, so i can't sell it. what should/could i do?
First of all whoever told you that you can't take more then you can carry is wrong. I moved to Ireland from Canada and just shipped the pieces that I wanted most and put the rest in storage for when I came back. If you are not coming back this is what I would do, ship what you can afford now, and look at the expense as cheaper then buying new furniture. If you can't afford to move it all put what you can't send in storage and have a friend ship it for you when you have more money.
It would also help if you let me know where you were moving from and to and I could tell you the cheapest way to move it.
**Ok you will want to do an LCL load, (loose Cargo Load) call the trucking companies in your area that make trips to Mexico many will have empty space that they want to fill in order not to lose money. Also check out the shipping lines that ship to mexico from the port nearest you, again they often have empty space in containers and will ship your stuff for less. Try to get a flat rate, many will try and charge more by quoting per lb. Also since you are moving to Mexico where the cost of living is cheaper I would investigate the cost of new furniture and see what makes more sense for your budget.
Hope this new info helps.
