‘Never leave home without it’. Well, I am not talking about credit cards, but it is extremely everything in my home! All stuffs must go away with me from London to my new place in Scotland! I wish I don’t have to move that far, but my boss really needs me to be there since an urgent situation or something that I must settle there for a year or so. Oh My!
As a matter of fact, transferring me there is not a big problem; the problem is that I must take all my things such as clothes, paperwork, working tools and working devices at my apartment now. Of course there are some more and bigger things like my TV, Sofa and the tables, lovely plants, bed, personal computers and all accessories, wardrobe and many more that I don’t think my car could accommodate. And I think the car itself needs removals. These all things need to be removed as soon as possible because I know that the longer I delay the removal the more stressful I would be.
If the removal takes a short distance, just like when I moved from Oxford to London, I could manage it quite well; I was helped by 2 of my best friends and did the removal only in three times going back and forth. It took us three days to accomplish. But now, I will move to another country which means that this is international removals. Will I apply the same procedure? Can my 2 friends help me in this removal? I am sure they will, but of course this will take more time, energy and cost. I’d better reconsider the best way.
I certainly need to contact someone or a company that surely gives service in this matter. And shortly, I go to a company with a big banner “DOMESTIC and INTERNATIONAL REMOVALS”. Getting inside the office, I learn that this company is good in this field offers me their best service with standard quotation (I have no idea whether the cost is reasonable or high because I never used this type of service before). I guess I have no other choice but to agree with the price, in addition, this certainly is not an easy thing to do.
Soon, some people from the company are coming to my apartment. They seem to be expert on their job when they are calculating and estimating the possible accommodation, weight or cubic meters or something. Then one of them approaches me and shows me the total cost and estimated time departure and arrival at the address I gave in Scotland. They say that they will come back in two days and pick up everything written on the list while some small things will go with me. However, some other things are supposed to be left or sold cheaply because I don’t think I will need them or it is impossible to take them along. In the new place in Scotland, there will then be something old and something new.
