This was asked by Mella in the "Things You Shipped" thread and it sounded like a great thread for those planning moves.
Right now, I can't think of anything. Our container was packed to the gills and a few items were left. Movers Pak-man built two small crates to ship the rest. Our shipped load weighed way more than estimated and we paid a premium. We just got our two last crates delivered today, seven weeks after our container; obviously, they didn't come on the same ship. Although we were preparing to move for more than a year and started paring down our belongings at the outset, we ran out of time to cull and sort as we prepped our CA house for sale.
So far, we haven't thought of anything that we didn't bring that we wished that we did. But we can think of a lot that we wished that we didn't bring!
Fortunately, there are many rummage sales to donate to that raise funds for various causes. We gave a lot to Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kurtistown, a no-kill animal rescue shelter.
