missing boxes!!
iv been busy sorting out my personal things such as photos and started to think what i would do if they went missing as no amount of money could ever replace them theres hundreds of them.
i know sometimes boxes get damaged a bit but has anyone ever lost boxes? im starting to think i should take a suitcase of photos as hand luggage

I wouldnt give it a second thought, we packed all sorts of stuff to be shipped, and 100% of it arrived undamaged and unmarked, the boxes were in the same condition when they arrived as they had been when they left. The shippers are (from our experience) very professional.

We scanned all our precious pictures onto CD-ROM - but it took a while. I didn't worry - rightly or wrongly - about professional pics like our wedding photo's as there are negs in England still. But it's the *snaps* that we have taken that I was concerned about. Thankfully, it appears that it was wasted effort and time. But it did bring peace of mind. *Things* can be replaced - memories can't, and as some of the pics are of my mum, I wasn't prepared to take any risks.

My husbands uncle has captains containers ships for over 20 years. Apparently containers do go overboard in high seas. I only found this out once I pack our wedding photos :scared: Our boxes are due to arrive in mid-November so fingers crossed. I now wish I had scanned them on to disk first

I took all our personal stuff on the plane - as you say those things you cannot replace.
