Transporting large amounts of gear
« on: March 17, 2025, 01:06:28 »
I'm currently in negotiations with an Australian company, so I may move to Sydney sometime in the future if things go favorably. My move from Tokyo to Canada hadn't been so smooth because of many different things including cultural, monetary, the pandemic, and other annoying things.

I'm seeking advice on how to move my collection and tools from Quebec to the other side of the globe. Do you know of any logistics company? It seems that everything here in Canada is unreliable in terms of professionalism and reliability (sorry guys). I can't risk it, I have already sold a huge chunk of my collection and what's left are my most treasured possessions. Any tips and recommendations will be helpful.  :o :o :o

As long as you pack everything very carefully I would not worry too much about it and just select a reputal company UPS Fedx DHL or the like

I have read that the more $$$ an equipment shipment is insured for, the better care they (Fedex, etc) take not to lose it.
