Marcia, I think Phil is right on about the container. Most of the stuff in my studio came from Switzerland by one of those containers via the Panama canal. The person I bought it from shipped her entire inventory of clay, glazes, kilns, tools, molds-you name it. Then she moved onto a trapline and didn't have time nor interest in it anymore......
They can be shipped by truck or rail or sea (hum, don't think Montana qualifies for the sea part). Almost everything that comes up to Alaska or the Yukon comes in these containers by water, then they are loaded right onto trucks for their final destination. A very clever idea, more room for more stuff. Don't know what the freight rates would be, but my guess is that it would work out better as less handling.
Good luck on your move, Claudia MacPhee Tagish, Yukon

How about someone else.
Sorry, I could not pass that one up. Personally I would keep my stuff
and move it. I could not replace it for the sale price that I would
get for it and the money would be gone anyway.

At internationalmovers.com you can get online quotes.
I know that when Mervyn's moved us from San Diego to Texas, they put one of
our cars on a moving van. We were newlyweds then. The laws had just changed
so that the cost of moving was added to earned income. So, it cost 20,0000
to move our cast-off furniture collection. I would definitely check the
container route.
Hope this site helps.
Susan near Seattle, now.
