| 1246535 | 2011-12-01 06:20:00 | Yeah, as mentioned several times already, best thing you can do if you want to keep it is strip it and buy a case, PSU and screen when you get there. Last time I went overseas I put the components throughout 2 suitcases in their boxes and carried the CPU and heatsink in original plastic Intel case all taped up in my personal hand luggage. Scary times going through Chile customs with it, got pulled up everytime and had to show it and tell them what it was, I'm sure they either wanted an excuse to take it for themselves or wernt sure if it was a component for making a bomb (it was only a couple of years after Sept 11 attacks). Anyway, you're going the other way to Oz, so you're fine. Good luck. |

| 1246536 | 2011-12-01 07:45:00 | Hi Guys, I filled out an online quote from DHL, and their quote was just shy of 1k which is absurd, it is a valuable beast, but I'm not spending that much to ship it! :eek: There is something wrong there, either that or you are using the wrong shipping method. I can ship a 140Kg machine bolted to a pallet from Auckland to Melbourne, door to door for only a few hundred more than your quote. I'd get quotes from a few other shipping agents, and even posting may be cheaper. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
