Thanks for this post. Very helpful 👍
Glad it was helpful!
THANKS for the video. This is precisely what i was looking.
Glad I could help Rocky.
Hi Ashika, I am also moving to Maidenhead with my husband in coming 3-4 months. Need some help in understanding which area will be good for getting a rented house in Maidenhead and how’s the commute to major cities? Avg cost of renting a flat or a villa like yours and places to explore there. 😄
Hi ashika, can you tell me the process of moving your pet to UK from India... I have a 4 year old doggo that i want to move there with me
Hi, nice to meet you.
Can you please help me with some trusted websites where from to be able to buy products to be sold in UK or other countries? Thank you in advance and all the best.
How about fragile items. Any issues seen in your case with shipping these.?
this reminds me so much of the time when my family and I left Bahrain in 1997 and we hired a container to bring stuff home to Bangalore. In retrospect I ask my parents now how much of "Bahrain" stuff do we have now, and it's just the 1 dining table! But to be fair, 1997 India didn't have a lot of good stuff, unlike today.
Sorry your experience was bad though. It's nice to start fresh in a new country with furniture that blends well with the country. To each his own!
Oh I can imagine what your parents went through then but you’re right on things being different now. I would definitely do it differently were I to do it again.
@@AbsolutelyAshika Can I please ask what you would do differently now ?
We have few things to ship and I am scratching my head if I should really bring it into the UK (because of shipping costs). It is not really cheap to move things. It costs much more than anyone can imagine.
thanks for sharing my friend
Hope it helps Aziz!
Hey Ashika, We are moving to the UK next month and though we do have a lot of furniture here at home, we are evaluating if we should get it along or not (Shipment is sponsored by the organization I work for). One thought is to only carry utensils and other essentials only and leave the furniture and other big items. What would you advice?
We also have a toddler and are wondering if there are things we need to be prepared for?
Hey there. It depends on how much your organisation is willing to sponsor. DM me on Insta if you’d like to share the value and I can help you understand if it makes sense or not.
Don’t bother bringing over utensils as you’ll need them immediately when you get here. Instead order everything from ikea. It’s not too expensive and you get pretty much everything.
Invest in a good pram for your child as there will be a lot of walking initially. Don’t bother overstocking on diapers, you get everything here. But carry warm clothes for the baby as it’s a little chilly here right now and will be next month too.
Very good and step by step process explained.
You look to be very organised in your steps. However, I have a few queries.
1. For financial assets like shares, mutual funds, PF, PPF, and property, what things to do?
2. How does renting Indian house work when you are in the UK?
3. How/where to get currency exchange for initial expenses till the first salary arrives? How much advance, currency to exchange? In what form, cash/form?
4. Steps to open a UK bank account, which bank is preferred in the UK?
5. Which things are not allowed in a handbag or check-in bag?
6. How to rent a home in the UK while you are in India? Is it advisable?
7. How to get admission for a child in secondary school? What steps to follow?
8. Getting admission to a school and renting a home are co-related and is a chicken-egg problem. Without an address, the school do not entertain admission enquiry; however, to get admission to a good school, you need a home. Even if you rent a home, it is not guaranteed to get access in the nearest school, as the admission would be a year-in application. How did you/your friends solve this problem?
Hi Ashika, thanks for this informative video. I just saw this shipping video, that you have shipped your television too. Wanted to confirm, if we can ship our television (SONY). Hope Indian electronics work there well. Please do reply. Thanks in advance
Hi there. You can absolutely ship your TV and it will work. Do remember to carry along converters for India plug points.
Did you send grains along with house hold items ?
Nope, no food items.
Hi , thks for sharing the video .. we are planning to move to London and would like to take furnitures .. sofas , beds ,mattress , micro oven etc ... we got all these recently and don’t want to leave them behind .. pls help me on this
Hey there, did you see the video? I’ve mentioned the details on how to move
@@AbsolutelyAshika yes saw the video and contacted We ship .. Thks a lot 😍
I need to move some stuff Netherlands to u k do you know any website suggest me
Hey there, you can try checking with the agents I mentioned but beyond that I'm not entirely sure.
How much it costed for you to bring all your things.
Hi Anitha. It's covered in the video. It cost me 4 lakhs + but it depends on the quantity you want to ship.
@@AbsolutelyAshika thanks Ashika
@@AbsolutelyAshika was 4 lakh worth it? That's a huge expense. Would you not get all those things there?
Is it possible to ship a car
Hi Tejas, it is as per my understanding but you'll end up paying possibly more than the value of the car for import, taxes and checks.
Can I move my car their
Hi, I'm guessing you can but the import duty you pay will be very high.
4 lakhs ? It’s too expensive.
Unfortunately it is.
