will my boxes be opened up and inspected? any experience??
i've shipped (literally) a coupla giant crates of my belongings to singapore before (including beds and mattreses and what not).
based on what i can see, it wasn't touched at all. nothing opened. it was sitting at the port and i rented a truck to go pick it up.
in fact, i didn't even have to talk to customs - i went into the building, showed my paperwork to a storeman who pointed out roughly where it is.
i went on in to poke around, found it, and began shouting for my friends to come lug it away... or i had to find those pallet movers!
but there're security processes that're annoying (changing of ID, taking of picture to make temp IDs... forms...)
i think most of the items would have been x-rayed before leaving the dock and only suspicious ones placed on hold for further inspection.
as long as you label your stuff accordingly, i don't think you should have much problems (even by air, cos i fedexed a coupla jumbo boxes to singapore too).
