have you tried contacting any marine/shipping agents? they may know of some companys ie that ship containers that may be able to ship out your tools - if you make your own crates and pack them in movable sizes? being in cornwall you should have a few around ie Falmouth docks etc

i will give it a try thanks, thought that i had done all the hard bits, job, medicals and visa went through without a hitch but i am looking at a flight for the first week in march, shame i found this forum so late!!

the tools have to be thoroughly cleaned as well, any oil/grease has to be sorted out.
Do a search on shipping agents local to you they may be able to help you. Know Falmouth quite well, so you should at least have a local place of departure, even if it has to go to another port on way...

Good luck
