Best way of shipping a toolbox

Hi guys, anyone experience of moving a 50kg toolbox over to Oz by airfreight?. I really need my tools over in 3 weeks so sea frieght would be too long? Cheers, Ash

I sent 55kg of tools to brissy with excessbaggage. Good service and a good price.

Can you take them with you as luggage?

I think weighing 50kg it would rather blow their luggage allowance.

I don't know how it works to Oz, but I know when Dale had to go and work in Germany he had to take his tools with him as he was only going for a couple of weeks. He wasn't charged on the way out but on the way back he had to pay a fee for excess baggage. Do they still do this?

My daft hubby thought he would need tools asap, took loads in his hand baggage and then didn't use them for weeks!
Have a holiday first and forget the tools!
