Not vintage computers though. Also I've found it cheaper to airfreight 1/4 tonne vintage vehicle parts USA->Oz than by sea freight, and I had it in two weeks instead of two months (four days air, the rest of that time in local Customs). Just a note on accumulating items stateside for shipment: make sure that sending entity gets given invoices for _all_ items in that shipment or Oz Customs may demand it. I knew someone who did not have the individual invoices for an amalgamated collection of vintage vehicle parts and he told me it was a hassle for him to sort out.
