Posted on another thread, but fits well here as well....
I have heard in several places about using these plastic bins to ship, and I think they would be a good idea. Unlike a cardboard box, postal employees won't throw them because they KNOW the bin will burst. Then they will have a mess and it will be a headache for THEM.
I plan to take my desktop on the plane in one of them. You can get up to 2 50 lb boxes on the plane for $50 each.(the 18 gallon ones are about the size limit too.) Can't ship that much there with anyone for that price and a LOT less handling. We have 2 kids, so that's 8 boxes of checked luggage, plus 1 carry on and a handbag each. That is almost everything we plan to take.
We even are looking into taking a cruise to get there, as they have no limit on how much you can take,(plus units with balconies we can put it on) but they aren't cheap, and to permanently get off in Hawaii takes special permission from immigration or homeland security, can't remember which.
comin' your way soon!
