Moving back to the U.S....?

Question

I have wrecked my brain on what is the best way to move our stuff back to the U.S. from Mexico. Has anyone ever done that move? How long did it takes and how much did it cost? I have had quotes from Mexcian Moving companies and they want almost 13K to do it! That's crazy!!!

It seems the only way to move stuff is in a container. Isn't it possible to just get a truck to drive our stuff across the border like a regular moving company does?

I need suggestions?

Thanks

Izzy

Answer 1

If you have an FM-3, I don't see why you can't just load it up in your car and bring it back.  I never bring anything with me when I change countries... not even clothes... I just sell or give away anything I can get rid of an move on... it's only belongings and they aren't worth the effort or expense to move... especially internationally

Answer 2

Have you tried consulting with an American moving company instead?

There's a company in Florida, SMW Relocation Services, that does international moves. In the interest of full disclosure, I've done some marketing consulting for them, but the owner, Teri, has been in business for about three decades and knows quite a bit about international moves. She might be able to help you out, or at least answer your question about bringing stuff over by truck.
