It maybe that you want to ship your entire household or that you want to take some items but not all. You’ll need to plan ahead and decide on what is making the journey. Taking at least some of your own personal possessions with you will help to make your new home in the USA so much more familiar and homely. It maybe that some items have sentimental value and you don’t want to part with them, they maybe family heirlooms and some household effects are essential to ensure that are able to settle into your new property as quickly as possible once in the USA.
It’s also worth considering what can be used in the states as they is no point shipping items which can’t be used once you’re out there. This is particularly pertinent when it comes to electrical items, for example. It’s worth researching which of your appliances would be compatible in the USA before including them in your shipment.
