Well, first don't stress, you have plenty of time and perhaps working too soon on this. There are several options and methods (FCL/LCL), but before I can suggest what to do, you will need to know your true volume and how much space will it take. Once you know the appx volume than we can look at the best option. So, first compose to yourself some sort of ideal list of things you would like to take. At this stage, you will not need an on-site survey but rather filling out forms or creating a list, and most companies will be able to put this togther into an appx volume. Than once this is done we will need to know where you're moving from? Whether from a small town or from a big city such as NY, international shipping can vary widely based on the inland trucking too..... so I hope you have a guide were to start.
Sincerely
