Dogboy73 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi, first post! Moving to Oz later in the year. Wife & I are not home owners so we don’t have a great deal of stuff to ship ...... at least not from the house. I have some music equipment (electronic stuff - synthesizers, effects rack etc.) that I would like to take. Shouldn't take up too much space. I'd also like to take our mountain bikes, a small tool box & ......... here comes the big one ......... about 2000 vinyl 12"s! What sort of cost am I looking it do you think?! Bit nervous about the whole shipping thing. But a lot of what I do want to take is either expensive to buy or irreplaceable so I'd really like to take it. Will be offloading as much as I possibly can though. What will be my best approach to shipping this stuff? Many thanks, Darren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Chef Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Get some hard metal DJ cases for packing the vinyl into, I wouldn't risk just packing them in boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandJon Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Definitely bring your music gear - and I agree with 'chef, go for flight cases if you can for the vinyl. Else talk to the shippers and make sure they exactly how fussy you are about the LPs and see what they suggest. Flight cases are a good thing And you can always Ebay them afterwards if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boganbear Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I left all of my CDs and decks with my dad. Still havent got around to shipping them out but they are safe where they are until we finally decide whether to stay in Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
