ship without container
Anybody on here shipped boxes to Australia instead of half or whole containers full?
We only want to take sentimental stuff like photos, books..., but nothing else.
I read about companys that do pallets and shrink wrap but have lost the details.

Re: ship without container
Most shipping companies will deal with part-container loads. There are also some which are recommended for smaller quantities, like Excess Baggage Co, and Seven Seas.

Re: ship without container
we used excess-baggage.com - flew the boxes and picked them up from the jetta office in Sydney. Much quicker than a boat
