Hey everyone! I'm heading to Australia from the USA soon and need some advice on how to ship my gaming setup. I've got a tower, two monitors, a keyboard and mouse, a headset, a webcam, and a mic that I want to take with me. I've previously used a service called MyBaggage, but everything I sent got damaged despite me packing them well and labeling the boxes as "fragile." So, I'm looking for recommendations on how to properly pack and ship my gear, and what service you suggest using. Any tips?

I took everything apart and packed the components separately in my suitcase. Once I arrived, I bought a new case and set everything up again. It made shipping a lot easier!
Consider the value of each part before shipping it. It might be more cost-effective to replace bulky items like the case or monitors when you get there rather than risk them getting damaged. It's something to think about!
Yeah, my fiancé suggested that too. I plan to sell off my case (keeping the GPU and SSD), and the monitors since I’ll have some cash from selling my car. Appreciate the input!
