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.

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 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.
