When it comes to Sweden, expats have a very easy time deciding whether it’s a place worthy of consideration for permanent relocation. The quality of life this country provides is regularly taken as an example of what other countries aspire to offer to their citizens.
The Nordic nation is on every list of countries with the best healthcare, transport, economy, education, jobs, housing, infrastructure, community, culture, nature, and safety. English is used widely enough for foreigners to have an easy time getting around, and the Swedish are friendly and hospitable to make everyone feel at home.
Having said that, shipping one’s household goods to or from Sweden comes at a price. You can see the lowest Sweden container shipping rates by accessing the tables below.
