My Wife and I will be moving to Ireland from Denver. The bedroom furniture in question WAs built here in Colorado,where the Humidity is around 10-15%. Is this furniture with its many Drawers even worth bringing to The Humid climate of Ireland? Its a 17 year old bedroom set and I know some swelling will occur I just don't know how bad it will be.It WAs about $6000 17 years ago and probably worth little to anyone else.We would give it away for free more than likely. Anyone out there regret bringing Furniture with them to Ireland,or should I still consider ...

... actually buy a house in 2022 (waiting for tax free distribution from I pension). I am feeling like BBQ grills, smokers, sofas, garden furniture and gazebos... can All be purchased here is ISS for less and shipped, but in the end I feel I should just sell I All here and buy stuff there in another year. Are the prices that much more expensive on that type of stuff to WArrant shipping everything we have?

Hi’ any help or suggestions? We are selling our US holiday home after 6 years and WAnt to bring back the furniture to use in our home in Ireland. All the info I find is based on changing residence which technically we are not. We have had our main home in Ireland All Along. Will we be subject to duty and taxes? Also about 90% of the furniture WAs originally purchased in and shipped from Ireland to the USA 7 years ago because we thought we were moving permanently to the US. That plan changed and we returned to Ireland after 6 months but chose to not sell ...

It is good to have such detailed information about your USPS experience, especially as we are in Seattle. With the furniture we will have to ship, much will go in a container, but for some things the USPS would be superior for the speed and convenience.

@aingeala20 Hello Angela Thank you for posting. May I ask how you arranged shipment of your belongings to IE? I, too, have been sorting/donating/tossing a LOT of stuff. Most is just accumulated stuff that I should discard anyway. After reading your post, I might just ship household items that I like and Already have in hand. I Also have three pieces of furniture and some framed posters/paintings to ship. I am in Roseville, very near Sacramento. If you were satisfied with your shipping arrangements, would you please share the name/contact information for the company that you used? This would be very helpful. With great thanks Pat Egan PS I am moving to Stillorgan, Co Dublin.

I am not bringing much furniture as my new home is virtually furnished. However, will my garden hose attach to a tap in Ireland? Or should I not bother. Are the hose attachments the same or can I get an adapter? My lawn mower is quite good and I shall need one. Better to bring or sell?

Thanks Liam; sounds like good advice. In the meanwhile, I did pose the question to rep at Schumacher who does not anticipate a problem since it is likely more in the nature of an antique or a piece of furniture. But, an email to customs couldn't hurt to double-check.

Hi Dinah, There's good and bad to hiring a removal company. In the case of heavy furniture etc, it's Almost a must, IMO. However, this site is for people moving to Ireland, and offering advice specifically for that. You might find one that is geared specifically to UK movers out there too.

Hello everyone, I’m planning to relocate to a new house in a few months. Now, I need help with the entire process seeing the numerous and heavy furniture pieces that must be transported from Ireland to the UK. Since it’s my first time to deal with this process, I’m thinking of hiring a moving specialist. My neighbour recommended one of the removal companies Ireland to UK that he knows. Do you think it’s a good idea to seek their services?
