Thanks for info, but finding someone close to the present owner and willing to
ship a container to Rome may not be that easy.

Anyway I will try... who knows.

The trick is to find someone in the are who is being transfered to Rome and
their company is shipping a container of houshold goods for them. Since the
price is by container, and not by weight, it is often cheaper to ship
a container that is not full than to do it by "lift van" (a custom made
wooden crate).

In years past people wouldstuff their containers with household goods
that they could not get outside the US, such as toilet paper, disposable
diapers, canned tuna, however I think those days are long gone.

If you ask around, you might find someone who is willing to accomodate you.

Geoff.
