A nerd's guide to packing

In trying to decide how to send our excess stuff to Switzerland, we've had a look at a few different options. To compare them, Martin made a beautiful graph demonstrating which option is the cheapest for different quantities of stuff. Since the graph looks so beautiful, and it's highly likely that readers of this blog may one day need to send things, I've uploaded the graph. The 'excess baggage' option is calculated for Qantas, PFS = Professional Freight Services (www.pfs.net.au, takes 7-10 days), and 1m3 = ship (Kalgin: www.kalgin.com.au, takes ~53 days). Whoo hoo! Happy packing.

Hi Miranda,

Thanks for the SMS on arrival. In publishing the guide to packing you leave nothing to chance for us who will some day soon being doing what you and Martyn are doing. Well done.
Hope you enjoy the stay with his parents.
We now have the house and are already revising the plans we told you about.
Off to see Jono in concert with AYB this afternoon.
Going to watch the Roos play the Cats this afternoon. Should be great game. Winners yesterday were Hawks (Over Crows by 3 pts) Pies (Over Swans by 3 pts) and Port (over Eagles by 28 pts)
Can I talk to you on Skype?
Cheers
Dad

I'm looking for cheaper way to send produce. I recently became a produce freight broker and this is all I'm doing right now.
