Hi as my family are re-locating to Thailand they cannot getting packing cases or boxes,In the TRNC , like we did with yellow storage in the UK and have been advised by Gulf Air the best thing to go about it is, to get old suitcases, which can be thrown when finished, we need up to 6/8 Suitcases which will hold around 25 killos each for the family to send out their personal clothes and kiddies toys. I appreciate anyone on this fromum who might have an odd one in their lockup or a storage room, which they do;nt have use for .does;nt have to be great or tied up with string, so long as their items can be sent, a,s,a,p. 0533 871 9057

Thanks Smithy

Sorry I meant to say I would pay for them,

But to buy down the local shops at their prices and then just throw them away as will not be needed once they have done the job, its a waste.

Hi D & J

Thank you so much for your offer, but the family are moving on the 4th November, so will have to be packed up and sent before they go, many thanks again.

Groucho, many thanks for bringing it to the attention, it was a cry for help at first, as the family are on a tight budget and they cant really afford to buy at the local prices, then throw away, but thanks to this forum I have had 2 suitcases and 2 packing boxes,promised, and thanks to Caroline in Esentepee she has a case plus some packing boxes,

I am so lucky to have found this forum, many thanks all, and well done for your kindness.I had 3 years ago many boxes and old cases which came with my shipment but thinking I would never use them, I threw them away.
