wildrover: There is no furniture , just lots of stuff in cartons.... I was planning on flying to the UK and buying a big van for all this stuff , but my girlfriend suggested it may be cheaper to put all the stuff in a container , or have a removals firm take all the stuff for me....
I would doubt that she is right about that, removals companies tend to charge an arm and a leg. A year ago my girlfriend moved from Slupsk to Warsaw and had a van full of stuff: she ended up paying 1,200zl and that was by far the cheapest quote, most quotes were well over 2,000zl.
If I were you, I'd ask her to get some quotes from a few removals firms near her for the job (average wages in Russia are a lot lower than in Poland). And ask her to speak to a few scrap yards to find out which vans are worth the most when broken for parts (and how much you could expect to get for a van of that type and in total if you broke it yourself). I'd think that you could at least cover the cost of the van from the UK and most of the petrol too.
