hello everyone, does anyone has moved to mauritius from montreal Canada. how did you ship your stuff? I have some boxes i would like to ship when i relocate to mauritius. only boxes approx 12 boxes, no furniture. I would like to use air shipping instead of sea shipping coz i heard you may lose your stuff?? is that right?!! Please give some advice, am a bit lost, am planning to come to Mtius by the end of April.
Thanks

You'll still need a container. I'll suggest you contact the shipping companies and buy a small container from them. Allied Pickford or Mearsk, they will assist you from picking up till deliver to your doorstep. Make sure there are nothing valuable in the box, I experienced lost items but nothing too expensive . Good luck. :top:
