How to get all of your stuff here.

Priority Mail.

We shipped 6 boxes all within 10 lbs of 50. This is all of my earthly belongings and most of Jessie's. It cost $200. Delivery time is 7-8 business days. To drop it down to the slower shipping with USPS would lower the price to about $150 and increase the shipping to 5-6 weeks. UPS quoted us at just under $1,000.

Pack everything with tons of tape. I bought six rolls of packing tape and used 2.5 wrapping all the boxes. Make sure you reinforce all the corners the tops and bottoms of all the boxes. After you're written your address, put some tape over that so it can't be smudged or removed.

Take your clothes, laptop and camera with you on the flight and put everything else in a box and ship it.

More in a few days if / when this stuff arrives. ;)
