Hello, it is with heavy heart that we've had to make the decision after 6 months here in Ireland to move back to the states. Not something I really wanted, but there appears to be NO jobs here that I'm not over qualified for. So I'm not sure if that's just an Irish way of saying you're too old....either way we're looking for anyone who has some experience with shippers from Ireland to States? Thanks

Sorry to hear that. My husband & I are hoping to make the move to Ireland and I have found your posts to be helpful. We are retired, so there won't be the pressure to find work. I wish you best of luck. Let us all know what shipper you choose and how you make out with your move and re-establishing yourself Stateside.

Oh, BlacksmithTom, I'm so sorry to hear that. Wish things had worked out better for you --and thanks for all your helpful posts, wishing you a smooth transition back to the States.

Glad I could offer some help. While Ireland has been a fantastic experience, it has made me quite aware of things that you won't hear or see on any tourist board. I just wish I'd put my stuff in storage instead of shipping it. Right now we're in limbo, I'm waiting on job interviews in the states and can't give movers even a general area to get quotes, we may just have to sell everything we brought with us and just take our suitcases. If I had it to do over again, I'd have taken some time off from work, taken a trip over here for a few months and then make the decision on if we wanted to live here. I can safely say, we'd been back in the states within 3 months. Good luck to those that are moving here, good luck to those that are already here. Ireland, it turns out just isn't for me and my family.

Hi Tom, I understand, I have now been in Ireland for two years and can honestly say I have hated it for many reasons that I won't go into. The best company I used to get to Ireland was SOS shippers, I really like Tony Cavaliere, if you call him tell him Kate Mackey recommended him. I needed to get a copy of paperwork last year from him and just asked if he could arrange a move back he said sure. So, you can use the people who brought you originally they all liason between the countries. i loved SOS, they were terrific.
