Packing

Well, I've started thinking about packing. The way it's done here is that everything is packed into big wooden crates 4ft x 4ft x either 4,6 or 8ft.

Looking at how I brought my stuff out here, because I brought a car I had a container. Not taking a car back means I won't have a whole container, hence the wooden crates, I think. But half my stuff was packed into

with heavy stuff spread out, so that each crate weighed 15-25kg. Now I reckon I can get 8 of these plastic crates into a 4ft x 4ft x 4ft wooden crate. At 20kg each that maks 160kg, plus say 20kg for wooden crate =0.18Tonnes. I reckon I've got about 500kg in total (0.5T) which will probably go into 2-3 crates...

Assuming that they do as they say and deliver it to the door in the UK, how am I expected to move it? It's too big to go through the door. It's too heavy to lift.
I'm sure it makes sense for the shipping, it must do, it doesn't make sense any other way.
