Taiwan Shipping (lemmy.world)

OK, I’m moving to Taiwan and I need to find a company that will ship a lot of stuff. I don’t need to do what’s considered a LCL or a less than container load, I just don’t have that much stuff what I’ve got is probably three to maybe five large suitcases worth of clothes books and various baby equipment; and a medium size crib in a stroller and a car seat.

Does anybody know of a service that’s kind of like pods in the United States where they drop off a small metal case in your driveway you fill it up and then they pick it up later ? 

Or does anybody know where we can take one large oversized wooden crate or pallet for shipment? Right now we’re in Kansas and a lot of the place I’m finding require me to haul my stuff to the east or West Coast before they can put it on a pallet.

What did you end up doing? Probably too late but for the benefit of others.

Apparently even a small pallet can cost thousands of dollars. You don't have much and should think about leaving books you can get digitally. Cheapest option might be just to pay the airline for extra baggage, ~$100/suitcase. A reddit post today might have useful info.
