Default Moving, and moving stuff.

Hey, I'll be applying for the IEC thing when that pops around again, and just wondered if anyone has any experience with moving a load of stuff over to Canada.
I've got stuff like Electronics (PC, PS4 and stuff) and a few other bits and bobs I'll want to bring along, so any advice on how to go about moving the bigger bits around?

Compared to a lot of people you haven't got much stuff... We sent some stuff via DHL when it got forgotten. Cost about 100GBP for about 100lbs if I remember rightly, but that was about 3 years ago.
Other option is to look in to a shared container but that would take a while to get here...

Would your PS4 work out here? due to PAL/NTSC or is that like an old language that doesnt matter these days?

Eh, from what I gather the PAL/NTSC is based on screen refresh rates via Coaxial cable. Since most stuff uses HDMI these days, the standard is 60 hertz instead of using different ones.
As for region-locked discs, that's a different matter.
I'm pretty sure things are region-free, but I can always buy online if not.
I didn't know DHL did stuff like that. Thought it was just small packages.
Any size limits or aught?
I've obviously got a few clothes and stuff to bring too, but generally it's just electronic goods. Anyone got a few favourite companies? Good experiences?
Anyone I should avoid?

If you click on my name you will find an article I wrote about moving our stuff to Toronto last Autumn, it may give you a couple of idea's.
Best Wishes.
