Your baggage is going across the world, not across the street so pack accordingly. Use suitcases or good quality strong boxes or bags. Remember these are your valuable personal effects that in most cases cannot be replaced no matter how much Insurance. Use good quality boxes. Jetta Express have their own award winning boxes available from their offices in Australia and selected places throughout Australia. USE COMMON SENSE DO NOT OVERLOAD BOXES OR BAGS . You pay by weight and not by the number of boxes you send. Use good quality packing tape and packing material. Pack delicate things in the centre and surround with clothes or newspapers. Jetta Express have fragile tape. Ask our driver for fragile tape. Computers and Hi- Fi equipment - use the original boxes. If you do not have the right boxes then go to the computer or Hi-fi shop. Bikes. Go to a bike shop and get the right size box and the inner parts of the box. Bike box too small - bike wheels stick out of box - bike box to big - wheels move around. To pack your bike properly you need to take off the front wheel and turn the handle bars sideways. The front wheel should be packed in new bubble wrap and packed inside the bike forks. Ensure all dirt and mud is removed from the bike as there maybe a quarantine inspection in the country you are travelling to. If possible get the bike shop to pack your bike . For boxes and packing materials go to www.movingoverseas.com.au The last word on packing is do not
use the red and white stripy bags - they cost $1.00/$2.00 each
and are trouble as they split open and rip easily. CAN I USE OTHER COMPANIES CARTONS AND BOXES. YES - We accept other companies cartons and boxes. Make sure you use good quality cartons and boxes. If second-hand cartons ensure old names are blanked off. Supermarket boxes are usually
light weight boxes for groceries so be selective if you use these.

on the Jetta Express Shippers letter of Instruction which places
the onus on you the shipper, for dangerous goods.

name and address including country of destination. You may use
the local language on additional labels. Name and address labels
are available from your travel agent or airlines. Usually labels
are with your airline ticket - if not ask either your travel agent
or Airline for baggage labels. HOW MUCH WEIGHT SHOULD I PACK PER ITEM. We suggest if you cannot lift your baggage then how can our driver lift your baggage and most important of all when you arrive at your destination how do you pickup from the airport of destination. For Health and Safety reasons we suggest that no more than 30 kilograms (60 pounds) be packed per item . Use common sense when you pack you

than

We had to wait for 6 weeks before for an additional special flight to Christchurch. - The German couple with two
B.M.W. Endro Special Motor Bikes who were on a 2 year around
the world trip and had been ridden from Germany via Europe, Africa
, Middle East Asia, Perth, Darwin to Melbourne and then off
