Q: For our family is it better to ship our furniture overseas or to buy replacements on the field?

Containers may be shipped overseas for around $2500 to $4500 for 20 to 40 foot containers. I have heard stories of missionaries getting good deals at military bases overseas as soldiers leave and have to sell a lot of furniture when they leave. If you go to the field overseas you may ask questions regarding new or used furniture or visit furniture stores ( if available). You may see my Overseas Shipping Resources info at http://www.missionresources.com/overseas.html for some other helpful info and resources.
