| 1145517 | 2010-10-17 00:36:00 | Hey guys, I will be relocating to Adelaide soon, and was wondering if any of you has had experience with any courier companies that are able to competently ship computers over. I have my personal desktop which I just built recently. The new employers have a relocation allowance, so cost is not so big of an issue. Just want to get it there in one piece. Thanks, Michael |

I found them excellent and goods were well packed and service very prompt and efficient. You can track the goods on their site and see just exactly where it is at any stage. LL |

Make sure the shipping has insurance then examine and test thoroughly when it arrives. The main thing you'll likely be concerned with is the screen, so if you only recently built it, the original box (if you still have it) should have the polystyrine bricks to hold it properly in the box. |

| 1145521 | 2010-10-17 04:58:00 | Yea i've still got the packaging and stuff from the case and screen . bought a decent Antec case, so instead of just normal polysteyrene its got that stiff foamy stuff . I'm hoping that'll b decent . In your experiences is extra packaging needed padding wise? Michael |
