Hi I am moving to bermuda in a couple of months. I am already living as an expat and have lots of personal belongings I need to either ship or sell. I wont bring large furniture items as not sure on accomadation as yet. I have an allowance so want to make the most of it. What do people recommend I bring that's hard to get or expensive to buy.. Is it worth shipping items such as crockery and kitchen utensils? I have read Toiltries are a good thing to bring? What about quality bedding, towels etc if I have should I dump it or bring it? Thanks in advance for any help or advice..

Your personal belongs, Towels, sheets, bedding, but you can always go on the website EMOO, its a website for people buying and selling 2nd hand items.

I arrived one year or so with nothing but clothes and a folding bike. We bought most of our furniture form one or two leaving island sales and the landlady found us some other bits and pieces including beds. Yes it is all second hand but mostly decent pieces of furniture. We will hand it on when we leave as we have a furnished home back in UK. Towels, sheets and bedding is costly so maybe if I was coming out again I would bring a spare set of each. if you have quality stuff then bring it - we can get quality stuff here but for a price. Crockery and kitchen equipment - several thrift outlets have lots on the shelves. Electrical and electronics are all very expensive - bring a computer and wiring if you can, with the necessary transformers or adapters. But electric toothbrushes won't work if you come from UK, get one here at PriceRight. if you have one bring a folding camp chair for outings, garden and picnics - they are twice the cost out here cf UK or States. clothes are limited in choice so bring plenty - but you have to have owned them for six months if you want to avoid paying duty on them - anything newer attracts 25% customs duties.

Leave everything at home. Bring lots of cash and purchase second hand items such as furniture and appliance at house sales. They are prevalent. Read the Royal Gazette and go online for info. Good luck!
