We've been trying to figure out what we should bring with us and what we should sell. This can be a difficult problem to navigate when you have an overly-sensitive fourteen year old who wants to keep everything he ever owned in his entire life. His closet is filled with Legos, stuffed animals with the stuffing falling out, the flags of every country that ever existed in various sizes, magnetic car sets, unfinished ship models, and stacks and stack of drawings that include every piece of paper he's ever scribbled on since he was a two years old. Each thing has value because of this, that or the other thing and in his opinion everything must come with him to England. I don't think he even realizes that we won't be taking the tarantula yet.
My husband has musical instruments ship and he has been researching some ways to do that. We could rent a freight or ship things UPS or pay for things as excess baggage. We still have to figure these things out.
We sold some books to a used bookstore and my husband has started putting things for sale on Craig's list. I don't have much stuff of my own and what little I do have I don't mind parting with.
Here's an interesting website I found while looking for information about shipping. This site talks about what you have to pay duty on.

This blog is a great idea - thank you! I too have had a lot of trouble trying to find out what I would think are basic things, and the UK government website is less than wonderfully designed :)
I look forward to following this to see how you go!
