I am a frequent traveler and found that the main problem in transporting
goods either in the hold or in the cabin is security. My luggage have
repeatedly been taken apart, carefully packed items were unpacked and thrown
back together. Security threw my suiseki back into my luggage unwrapped and
refused to let me wrap it again, even threatened me if I approach it.
Needless to say one of my expensive stones broke. On another trip at a
checkpoint in Dallas they lost my wedding ring of 40 years when I was forced
to go through security again after coming from Mexico and changing planes.

I learned my lesson and last time shipped my staff on UPS from California.

As they say: Your mileage may be different. Good luck.

Subject: [IBC] Carry on luggage (bonsai) Methods ?

I've been doing a lot of air travel lately and on this last trip I brought
home a very
small bonsai by hand carrying it on the plane. I had to fashion a very
crude package (I
used a plastic pop bottle with the pot cushioned in Styrofoam) but I am
planing to fly to
California again in a couple of months and was contemplating bringing back a
larger plant.
I know about wrapping the pot in a plastic pot, putting that in a smaller
box, gluing that
small box into a larger box using spray foam as the glue and insulation and
poking holes
in the larger box for ventilation.

I'd like to hear what kinds of methods that others use for shipping their
bosai via air
travel. I didn't want to put the tree in the hold as I wasn't sure of the
condition of
the hold. Any advice appreciated.

This is what I have done.

Wrap the pot in plastic and tie or tape securly in
place.

Cut holes in the box just below the level of the pot.

Tie tree to box using the holes in the box, making "L"
shaped turns with string or tape to hold down pot and
steady trunk.
_______

|--o| |

|______|

Crude, but you get the idea. Do this several times.
Do more holes higher up to support trunk if longer
tree.

Wrap in paper to protect strings.

I agree with Peter.
I ship EXTREMELY expensive electronics all over North and South America.
The last time I thought I'd try to hand carry a box of electronics through
the airport.
A $2,000 tool disappeared at the security inspection counter.

FedEx has never lost or broken anything.
You might want to consider a commercial shipper like FedEx or UPS.
When you consider the cost of your tree, the cost of overnight shipping is
peanuts !!

I wouldn't trust Fed Ex.
I work in purchasing. I buy chemicals that need to be
frozen during shipment. We got a box so damaged that
there was no cold ice inside, it had all fallen out.
The product was destroyed. My supplier said that this
happens to them 3 to 4 times a week. So they replaced
$2000 worth of chemicals sight unseen because of the
laxity of Fed Ex.

?

I wouldn't trust Fed Ex.
I work in purchasing. I buy chemicals that need to
be
frozen during shipment. We got a box so damaged
that
there was no cold ice inside, it had all fallen out.
The product was destroyed. My supplier said that
this
happens to them 3 to 4 times a week. So they
replaced
$2000 worth of chemicals sight unseen because of the
laxity of Fed Ex.
