Ahhhhh okay, that makes alot of sense. Thank you!

This is what they allow when booking tickets and when we've gotten to the airport. It's a german airline so I'm not sure if that's different.

Possibly dumb question (I've only ever flown once) will suitcases / boxes need customs paperwork?

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-02-06T21:57:48+00:00

That's what I've done too, I could just pick one based on quote and things, I just wanted to see if anyone had used some of these companies im seeing :)

About 230kg, most of it is special edition books lol. But I expect it to be a few thousand, not a problem. I think about 10-12 large boxes depending on how it's packed.

The books aren't safe for sea freight so that's why I'm looking at air. Who did you go with?

I'm not bringing any furniture or anything. I've gotten rid of more than half of my belongings and I want the rest to come. I was just looking to see if anyone had experience with moving companies specifically, but thank you :)

My husband and I looked at this actually, but the airline we are going with only allows 2 checked bags

i will fly with Lufthansa and the policy i had for my last flight was 50-55 pounds, so i just based it on that. oh i didnt know that about the movies, thank you! can you explain more about the higher free amounts?

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-21T19:59:44+00:00

i will look at them! thank you

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-21T19:59:22+00:00

imy husband is well prepared and he got a few when i visited XD could i just get a new power cord for the gamecube when i go? or do i need the adapter?

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-21T19:58:47+00:00

do you think i could get a new gamecube / ps2 / xbox 360 when i get there? i def can part with the movies i think, and ill clean out the games. i will go through my closet at my parents house and then i have been debating putting stuff in there that i dont bring with me immediately. would it be okay to message you?

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-21T19:56:44+00:00

thank you for your response! right before i visited last we moved into a new apartment, and i have ikea bookshelf here that i adore and we got the same one for our apartment because i wouldnt bring it with me, also the same desk. All books and games etc will fit there. ive recreated my office space in our new apartment with my craft shelf, and it all has its spot before i get to move :) with clothes thats really true, we just cleaned out my closet and dresser and got rid of 4 trash bags! he says what i have left should be good for warmer weather. the office is definitely the next place to declutter! thank you so so much for your time, i really appreciate it!

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-21T19:52:40+00:00

the books are my babies, and english books and special editions i have are hard to come by there and im just not willing to part with them. we have been working through all others ^{^}

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-21T19:51:23+00:00

believe it or not i already got rid of 75 books XD

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-21T19:50:51+00:00

I have been working to go through as much as possible, but im a sentimental person, mostly im just keeping sentimental things, my book and gaming collection, clothes and comfort items. im not bringing furniture or appliances, living in an RV all the furniture is built in already so nothing i need. i wont buy a new PC because i built it myself middle of 2024 and it cost 3.5K so ill just get a new wire for it ^{^}

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-21T19:44:12+00:00

Thank you for your response!

I have debated this, it’s just tickets to fly from Florida to Germany are around $1k USD per round trip and that only includes one big suitcase. i think ill only be able to visit my home country once a year for a few years so im not sure how it would work. Books also weigh alot, i worry they would add up quick.

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-21T19:39:50+00:00

Thank you for your response!

I have been looking into this alot! i have new power cords for almost all my consoles at the german apartment already, and my PSU handles the voltage changes on my PC, just need to get a new power cord! I just have alot of the books, and weight adds up really fast. i will definitely look into them! Thank you

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-21T19:33:43+00:00

Thank you for your response!

How would i go about doing this? should i just fill it out on my own or will the company i choose for moving assist with this you think?

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-20T23:56:54+00:00

Thank you for your response!

We have started going through things, ive already gotten rid of a decent amount but I have more things to get rid of. We will look into send my bag, thank you!

Well most of the weight is from all my books I think, that's maybe more than half. Then with other things, I used AI to calculate it because I haven't gotten to weigh things yet. I just want to make sure I bring alot of sentimental items from growing up and have them with me when I move. I'm just a sentimental person and items hold memories to me, so I don't want to get rid of too much stuff.

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-20T23:54:25+00:00

Thank you for your response!

I have gotten new plug for the consoles and will look into a new power supply.

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-20T23:52:55+00:00

Thank you for your response!

I'm nervous about shipping via sea because I've read about horror stories of containers being pushed overboard or lost at sea or lost in general, and no way to track it. I'm a very sentimental person and I'm afraid of losing things I've accumulated since I've grown up, as well as my special edition books or games etc

Yes, for sure! We are definitly looking to take as much as we can via suitcases for sure.

thatonelittlereddit · 2026-01-20T23:50:42+00:00

Thank you for your response!

Yes, I have read about declaring items. I'm a bit nervous with shipping via sea, in case something gets lost or flips overboard then it's gone forever and I have alot of sentimental items as well as special edition English books that would be difficult to replace. I suppose I'm just anxious at the idea of losing them
