Moving to the US from UK soon. I need to ship 6-10 large boxes of my personal belongings. Formal moving companies have quoted me £800-£1000 for a service that takes 90 days on average to be delivered. I looked on UPS and it looks like the same boxes can be delivered in 4 working days for £600-£800. Am I going to be stumped with a big tax bill upon their arrival in the US if I go via UPS? Or would I be silly to go with the removal company? Any help/advice much appreciated!
I just shipped a 20kg box from Denmark to the USA via UPS and got my things in 4 days, cheapest option selected. No taxes, I just made it explicit on the forms that my items were personal/for personal consumption.
That’s great to hear- would you say the forms are fairly straightforward?
