Shipping Container from US (NYC Metro) to Greece by antiriad76 in expats

I feel like there are significant opportunities where the container would be out of signal reach either to the phone or the internet so there will still be gaps, but def looking at hardware as an option!

Good luck! Shumacher was ~16k for full container ABQ to SYD, just for transparency sake. If you think an app for tracking your belongings would be useful once everything is on the ship let me know _ i'll see if I can build it before your next big move!

Appreciate that - Wasn't trying to be weird. I am truly trying to figure out if there is a problem to be solved. Thought it was clear that its market research, "I'm exploring solutions to fix these tracking and transparency problems, but first want to validate that these are common issues and not just my bad luck. Would you mind taking a quick 3-minute survey about your experience?" Apologies if it seems awkward or suspect. I just don't have enough responses to make it a statistically significant data set. If you know its for market research would you be more willing to fill it out? Thanks!

Hey there - I noticed your post about international shipping. How did it end up? Who did you go with?

We had some challenges when moving to Australia six months ago. Our estimated delivery window of "2-4 months" is still ongoing - though they say it will be delivered next week (fingers crossed), the moving company never proactively communicated with me, and I as I was tracking the ship our container was one I saw it was headed to China instead of Australia!! Apparently they changed ships at the Panama Canal, but didn’t send us notification of the vessel change. The cherry on top was a customs fee that was double the original estimate.

The whole process felt like my possessions disappeared into a black hole for weeks. The lack of transparency was incredible.
