Hello,

I'm moving from US to Europe and I'm trying to figure out the best way to ship a workstation overseas.

So far the idea is to buy a flight case and add some expandable foam on the sides.

I don't want to open the workstation to take any parts since I don't have too much experience and this was built custom, it was originally sent from EU to US and it was fine, so hoping continues that way now that I need to ship back.

Any thoughts regarding:
1) Best methods to ship
2) Specifics on the flight case
3) Any companies (Fedex, UPS, DHL)

Would be super helpful.

Thanks!

Yeah, let someone else pack it... BUT there should be at least 4" of foam around the entire PC to be safe, inside a hard case like a Pelican or road case. You don't want to use the blue expandable foam in your picture either - you want open-cell foam like a pick-and-pack- that has give so the computer and the items inside it can move with the bumps a little.

I'm surprised in your line of work, with the clients you appear to have worked with, you haven't seen a road case of gear... what gives Ezequiel?
