I am moving from Kenya to Ithaca, NY. In kenya I work for a US university and I am responsible for paying for all moving expenses.
I am wondering if there are others who might be moving to Ithaca, or nearby, and would be interested in sharing a container. I have already contacted a few moving companies, bu am flexible.
My move is in mid-july, but I hope to pack my things by the end of June.

Hi Cheka.
My advice is probably not what you're looking for,
I'm wondering if you're willing to get rid of some items at low price. For example Furnitures or a Car. It might be cost effective to sell in Kenya and buy what you need once in the US.
If so pls drop me an email with what u might want to sell

Here's my opinion, having lived in upstate NY and Kenya. Sorry if it sounds cold hearted. I sold a lot and returned to the US with two pieces of luggage. I would suggest selling your things and purchasing replacements in the US. It is really not worth it to bring much from Kenya, except items of sentimental value, or wildlife to the US. Remember cars are different (left hand drive) and power is 110 volts. Phones, radios, and such are different. The styles of clothing and furniture is different. Food and agricutural products are difficult to import. Anything you could desire, except a good pineapple, cup of chai, and some matoke or ugali, is available here. You can find high quality second-hand procucts in the US. Save your money, sell your things, and use this money wisely in Ithica to puchase new or second-hand things. You will need all the money you can as things are generally more expensive. Safari njema!
