Furniture Relocating
One of the things that has to be considered when moving a very long distance, especially when moving from one continent to another is whether furniture relocating is actually worth it. Let’s take as an example a move from South Africa to America. A little over a month ago a 6-metre container cost about R70,000 to send to the States. Because of the world financial situation has played around with exchange rates, at the time of writing that cost has gone up to R108,000. The question has to arise then as to whether furniture relocating is actually worth it. It all depends on the value of your furniture – if you have valuable antique furniture that you want to hang on to it’s probably worthwhile putting it into a container and sending it. On the other hand if all of your furniture is fairly mundane it may well be worth your while to sell it all and to completely restock with new furniture when you reach your destination. $10,000 can go a long way when buying new furniture.
Furniture relocating is just one of the many stressful decisions that you have to think about when you’re relocating a very long distance. We all have belongings that we like to cling on to for some reason or other, many of which reasons are often frivolous. It’s very important to do your sums before committing yourself to the expense of hiring a container for relocating your furniture a long distance. We would be happy to assist you in making such a decision when the time comes.
