Its simply not feasible to fly 2,000 miles (one way, 4K round trip) in
order to pack up some SGI workstation boxes to my satisfaction.
This is why I talk with the shipping company and ask them about how
they will pack it and so-on. Of course, it does me no good if they
just flat out lie to my face.
The only shipping company that can be trusted so far is Craters &
Freighters. And gee, they are a company that was founded to handle
the needs of shipping fragile art and electronics. What a surprise!

Every time I've trusted a freight company to
palletize and ship me
SGI stuff from dovebid, I've gotten stuff that was damaged and in
some cases not even packed the way the freight company told me they
would pack it.
I think I've said this before, but if you care enough to bitch about
something arriving broken, you should probably have done the packaging
yourself, or by a trusted individual, that you personally know (and who
either takes directions, or knows how to pack things).
