Another question that is asked commonly online is regarding shipping of goods both to and from the US.

The general response:

Ask yourself if you REALLY need to take these things with you to and from the US. Shipping is incredibly expensive and can be a time consuming process. Where you can, avoid it at all costs.

If you do absolutely have to though…

To the US

• SendMyBag
• FedEx – Effective but expensive
• Seven Seas– Takes around 3 months by sea
• OSS World Wide Movers
• Wickman Worldwide – “Christy Wickman – she’s responsive & professional so far and our delivery is next week” – Amelia, Facebook

To Australia

• SendMyBag
• USPS – Small packages
• Seven Seas – Takes around 3 months by sea
• OSS World Wide Movers

Shipping Pets

Shipping a pet is a stressful time for you (and your pet). Some companies that have been used and recommended before:

• PetFlyers (personal recommendation from me)
• Jet Pets
• Dogtainers

International Pet Movers (+1 404 754-1909) apparently have some great advice too, to get you started.
