Best way to ship computers from overseas - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Hi Chandra and all

...
 I need to ship about 200 pounds of computers,
documentation and spares from
South Africa to Boston. 
What? I didn't know we had computers over here that would be
worth shipping anywhere...

...

How do I deal with customs? 
Your side? Should be easier if you could prove that they
were originally made on your side of the pond?

...
 Probably the cheapest way to deal with this is to
contact the different
Airlines and set up an airport to airport delivery. You might have to settle
for South Africa to New York. Not sure there are direct flights from South
Aftrica to Boston. 
SAA flies to Atlanta.

If you're not in a hurry, stick it on a ship. Takes most of
a year, or maybe it just feels like it, but it mostly gets
there.
