Well, it's been quite a ride for the past year or so, but at least for the time being, I am moving back to the U.S.A. to either help nurse my aging father back to health or be there for his final days. Either way, I don't know how long it will be, so I'm treating it as my last foreseeable move overseas.

As such, I'm debating whether to just get rid of everything but basics, or use a moving company that works internationally to move all of my stuff in order to keep it. I'Ve done some research on this, but one thing I can not find are people who have actually used such a service.

If anyone has used a moving company to move internationally (especially from Japan to another country), please share your experiences. Thank you in advance.

When I moved from Japan, I had the Navy move some belongings. What did not get broken, got lost. Take pictures and buy insurance on what ever you end up doing. Also, customs in my home state of Maine would not release anything I sent home untill I got there and opened all the boxes for their inspection. Good luck.

I wish you the very best of luck with this change in your life. Gambatte kudasai.
