BBurns has the right advice. My brother lives near you, and when he wants to send me something he uses FedEx or UPS. Photographed and insured. Good luck to you. One more thought - can you really have too much equipment ? Not in my mind...

BBurns, that sounds like sound advise. UPS is preferred over Fed Ex so I will go talk to them. I have 3 SKB cases so it will be costly. What lind of 'band' are you referring to? Thank you.
You should lock the cases. Highly recommended.
Banding is an extra step to insure integrity throughout the journey. Banding like that used on crates and pallets. Ask if they can do it for you.

My entire photograpy inventory needs to be moved. Cameras, lenses and flashes, are packed in SKB 3i-2011-7dz cases. This is the case with the removable Think Tank zippered case within it. It is an airline approved case for carry on but limited to 1 per passenger. I have 4 cases packed.
Does anyone have advise on how to ship these? My concern is theft in-transit, and damage. It is a long haul
cross country move.
All my gear is insured but the hassle of having to deal with a claim is not something I wish to experience.
Getting here was only 2 cases. One as carry on, 1 checked but now my equipment inventory has doubled. Does anyone have experience with this situation? How did you handle it?
Any suggestions anyone may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Sorry but my experience with mailing stuff has not been good. UPS is preferred. Thanks for the suggestion.

Base on your location, see if you can borrow a sled and a few reindeer!

Or dog sleds...
