Default RE: Suitcase Shrike

I am using bubble wrap with 1 in bubbles, but it is not the movers that worry me, it is the Egyptian Customs people. They will inspect everything going out of the country. And I have found from several moves here in the middle east that all customs people are theives. They even stole my Iraq most wanted deck of cards (still in celophane). Insurance, Insurance, Insurance. My kids work for Hobbico and I have never been impressed with the condition of what arrives here in Egypt (and it comes thru the military APO system). Although the kits I have received have never had internal damage, only box damage.
