Hi all,
I was planning to make my move with only the maximum luggage allowed by the airlines, but things have changed a bit since then. My work has graciously offered to let me leave early AND give me a bonus (in other words, I was laid off and given a severance) so I've decided to spend some time in SE Asia on my way to NZ. I don't want to bring all of my stuff with me on that portion of the trip and would like to ship it instead. I'm guessing it will be around 50kg of stuff, certainly not enough to justify a whole container.
I had some trouble shipping things down there using the post office and am a bit worried about it making it there. It would be my laptop, many personal items, most of my clothes, etc. Any recommendations on who to ship it with?
Also, I don't know what my address will be when I arrive. Is there any way to ship it somewhere that will hold it for me?
