Life / Shipping Company Pickup in Poland? [4]

Hello All,

I have a medium sized box in Poland at a relative's house that I need to get shipped to the UK.

I don't want to trouble the relative with paying for the courier or having to take the box anywhere. Basically, I just want to arrange for me to be able to pay online, have the courier go to the relative's address, pick the package up and ship it to me here in the UK.

Does anyone know of any service that does the above without too much hassle?

Thanks in advance.

Real Estate / Rural places to live near Warsaw and other housing questions. [9]

Hello,

My family and I are considering a move to Poland (where I am originally from). Because of my profession I would likely need to work in Warsaw. I've taken some preliminary steps to look at housing, but I am not too familiar with Warsaw, being originally from Wroclaw.

How is the rental market there? Would it make sense to get some sort of rental agent to find a place for us to live rather than trying to do it myself?

Also, ideally, we would want to live somewhere outside of the main city, in a more rural setting. That's one of the main reasons we want to move to Poland - the rural setting appeals to us. However, because of work, it will need to be some place that either has a fairly good bus connection to Warsaw or otherwise a not overly long drive. I wonder also whether there are any rental opportunities in such areas (whole house).

Would be interested to hear from anyone living in such circumstances.

Cheers.
