Shipping: From USA to Australia (Help)
Anyone have idea about how to ship these items from USA to Sydney or Brisbane, Australia. Looking for a chip (does not matter how long it takes to get there) possibly via container. Lots of books that I hate to leave here. I live in Dallas, Texas. Anyone who shipped household item using any shipping company in USA please help me. Give me an idea about how much it may cost if I am planning to ship 5000+ ibs of books from here to Australia. Thanks guys.

We shipped about 12 boxes from FL to UK last year then combined them with another squillion to Oz. Wished we'd sent a whole load direct US-Oz but thats water under....
I can't remember who we used, but try yellow pages and ask around. Many US companies have stopped international shipping after 911 because of the paperwork but there's always one that will do it.
IIRC our shipping was around US$1200, which didn't seem excessive. There were other extras on top though.
