Hey Dj's!! Need Some DJ Gear Shipping Help

[sparkbro]

I think what other people meant was: How are you getting everything else you own (not just dj stuff) up there? I doubt that you would leave everything besides dj stuff behind...
How are you getting beds, chairs, cutlery, tables, bowls, plates, clothes, toothpaste etc up there?

Just send your dj equipment up the same way?

All my stuff is already up there. Its a LONG story haha. I used to live up there until July, when i moved back too ATL. One of my friends did me a really good favor and put all of my stuff into storage for me. So now when i get back into town, all I have to do is unpack all my stuff from storage up too my apartment. All I have too ship back is my gear and my clothes.

Pretty much the majority of my stuff (5' Rokits, Audio 10, and cords) could all fit into a box loaded with padding and foam to be safe. That box I would ship too my apartment. The remainder of the equipment I could carry onto the plane in my backpack. S2 and Maschine, along with both of my laptops can fit in my Namba bag.

This flew right over your head. How are you moving things like your furniture/clothing/misc. other shit.

Well that answered my question... what about a car? Not bringing one, or it's already there?

I've had good luck with Delta and Southwest cargo. You dropoff and pickup at the airport. I used to ship 50 pound boxes of flyers with them, and they made it in one piece, so a flight case should be fine.

How much did that cost you? And no, im not bringing my car, im leaving it down here. Chicago insurance and gas is way too freakin expensive. I'd be spending a guaranteed 2 grand just for 6 months. Plus i live like less than 2 miles away from my school, so its not really needed. And also, all the salt that they put on the roads too melt the ice can really screw up a car and damage its resale value. It gets all up under the engine and by the tires and just rusts everything.

FedEx offers a hold service where you can ship to the closest Fedex store in Chicago and pick up from there. They do this to for ground service as well.
Post office is gonna be pricey but you can also check UPS ground too.

but yeah those flight cases can be a KILLER on shipping!!!!!

It was usually around $50 for a box of flyers.

Look into Amtrak or Greyhound, they will ship cargo station-to-station for dirt cheap. Certainly not as easy as door-to-door but you should be able to save quite a bit.
