A mate, his partner (and cat) currently lives in Seville in Spain, and is planning in October on moving house to Bulgaria. I'm helping out with some of the driving effort, as indeed I did when he moved out to Spain from the UK.
The current plan, failing help from a excellent worldwide removal company complete with helicoptors, transporter beams and a jackpot of cash, is for me to buy a cheap (but expertly checked roadworthy) 3.5 ton van here in the UK - drive it out to Seville over the ferry, pick up their stuff and share driving it with them about 2000-3000 miles or whatever to their destination in Bulgaria. Then leave the van there.
Or is there a cheaper way involving some coordinated service that looks at lorry trips that normally return empty? Anything on the web that does this?
Organising this from Spain (or even buying a van there) is difficult at the moment for my friend (other issues than the language including unfortunately a tendancy for getting ripped off as a non-Spaniard), so trying via organisations based here.
