Default Shipping Photographs

Hi Guys and Gals

I'm just after a bit of advice regarding the shipping of a couple boxes of photographs.

When we initially moved over, we weren't sure if we would be staying, so I left 2 (largish) boxes of personal photographs, childhood memories etc etc behind with family.

We've been here 3 years now, and we've made the decision to stay here permanently - and I'd love to have the photos here with me.

So my question is - how is the best way to get them over here? Would you trust a shipping company with just 2 boxes? Are they likely to get damaged? (we had some slight water damage on the stuff we shipped over).

Any advice would be great

Wannabe

A courier would be better, someone like DHL.

no i would air freight them. get a quote from DHL. its not worth risking them with something you cant track.
