And save some money.

Where are you moving from and what are your means?

I moved from England. I didn't have a huge amount to bring with me. All valuables and breakables, I packed into my car and drove over. It took around 36 hours. I kept my car in Ukraine for 3 months before driving it back to England and selling it. In my mind, best way to get a lot of stuff moved with little risk. And cheap too. All depends on if you have a car...
