I'm planning on moving to Australia for school and am having trouble
finding a shipping company that I can use to ship my personal effects
as well as some larger items from my home to Australia.

I am looking for a shipping company that can get it there as cheaply
as possible (ie: by ship, not plane). Shipping time doesnt bother me.

I am looking to ship:
-2x Printer
-2x LCD monitor
-1x Computer case (Full tower)
-Misc Clothing + other

What would be the best way to get my items to Sydney (NSW, Australia)
from my home in Ontario, Canada?  (I have estimated the items above to
fit into a box with the following dimensions: 1m x 1m x 1m)

Hi studolicious,

Have you looked into good 'ole Canada Post?  They are probably your
best best. Go to their website and punch in your estimates of weight
and dimensions (one large box will cost less than two smaller boxes).
I think it will be tough to find another shipper that will ship for
less to Australia.

Does that help?

These are just some of the shipping companies listed in the Yellow Pages.
Most of them do on-line quotes.

There are more on the Yellow Pages website

I'm looking for something more local (ie: A North American moving
company that ships to Australia.  All of those are more appropriate
for moving between locations within Australia or from Australia to
another country, but thank you, they will be useful when I begin
moving around (I'm there for 5 years, 2 years in Sydney, 2 Years in
Melbourne, and 1 year in Adelaide.
