Hello,

I'm moving from US to Europe and I'm trying to figure out the best way to ship a workstation overseas.

So far the idea is to buy a flight case and add some expandable foam on the sides.

I don't want to open the workstation to take any parts since I don't have too much experience and this was built custom, it was originally sent from EU to US and it was fine, so hoping continues that way now that I need to ship back.

Any thoughts regarding:
1) Best methods to ship
2) Specifics on the flight case
3) Any companies (Fedex, UPS, DHL)

Would be super helpful.

Thanks!

If you're going larger US city to larger EU city, it doesn't really matter between FedEx and DHL. Otherwise, DHL has better ground experience in the EU. You could check with a freight expediter too. They'll generally do a decent amount of hand-holding through customs etc.
As for packing, I've shipped some pricey workstations with FedEx, no problems but they were packed like Faberge eggs. Your roadie case looks like a good way to go though.
