 Hi We had a load of furniture bought in the Uk (because of the exchange rate, becuase we knew of a place with great stuff at good prices in uk and because it fitted our taste more than the Italian stuff).  We had the debate and settled on hiring a man with a van (recommended by furniture shop) - he loaded up at our house in Cheshire and set off, we flew and met him at our house in Monte San Martino - he showered and then set off back to UK.  Can't remember how much it was but it was more than doing it ourselves.  However we didn't have to spend a week driving there and back.

 Don't forget the third option.........   Sell the garage contents in the UK and buy furniture [new or second hand] in Italy   The cash flow [including savings on transport costs] should be looked at, just to make sure its not worth it
