I have a question about our 'moving house' plans, and I would welcome some thoughts about it.

We have a lot of stuff to get rid of, but also a lot of stuff, (furniture, workshop machines, steel and timber stock, heavy equipment, etc.) that will need to move with us.

My thoughts were to somehow find a local place that has shipping container storage, move it all there while clearing the house, and then move the shipping container when we know where we have moved to.

I don't know if there is such an option locally, at both ends.

I'd appreciate any ideas as to how to do this, or if you have companies that you are aware of that would work like this.

We are in the Greater Manchester are of the UK and moving to rural Wales.

Thank you.

@Maker_of_Things We moved Leeds-->Scotland. Rented for a while. We were advised by many Local (Leeds) movers to get a Destination company to come down, pick up and store for us.

Why? Cost. Our locals would have to ship up north, and unload then a local would have to repack and reload for storage.

The quotes we got made it clear, it was cheaper to come down, pack up, drive north and unload into storage than getting a Leeds co. To shop us north.

HTH.
