I did move just a couple of weeks ago. Payed crazy money for 2 cubic meters of cloths, shoes, books, some china. Appr. 2000 Euro from Moscow to Stockholm. And Im not even sure when it will be here (6-12 weeks they say). I used Team Allied services and they organize it all with custom etc. You have to make sure there are no art objects or it becomes complicated. Good luck!
