The Express (Unaccompanied) Baggage is here!!

Fukuoka Soko...yep our stuff is in there

This little crate is our "express shipment"
It took 6 weeks to get here

Hard to read the crate, but it literally has all of our information on it
Macdonald, Camp Pendleton to Iwakuni, Japan
It even says how heavy the shipment was before they crated it, and after it was crated

This crate was "sealed" with about 50 nails, and that black plastic band
The movers literally pulled out every nail, and then cut the band

Yippeee...our stuff
That is a mountain bike

Ok, so my dad said they used "a lot of packing paper," no kidding
This is a flat screen tv, 2 broken down mtn. bikes, 2 mtn bike tires, 4 pillows, a laundry basket and a suitcase
Each item was individually wrapped in about 12 sheets of paper

Just the start of the boxes
Each box was labeled with what was in it

This was all that we packed as express
We pretty much forgot what was packed, so it was fun to open boxes

Yea our bikes...the movers put the bikes together before they left

Yippee..our first shipment arrived on Wednesday June 22 @ 1030am. The movers were very nice, and fast. From the time they opened the crate, to the time they left was 25 minutes. It was fun to open the few boxes we had, as we had both forgotten what we had packed.
On Friday morning, Jon checked his email, and we had a notice that our household goods shipment had arrived as well, and that we needed to call and schedule delivery. We were on the phone at 730am booking our delivery for Tuesday June 28 @ 1030. This shipment is literally everything we own...beds, furniture, golf clubs (yippee), everything!!
I will definitely post pictures of that.....the movers do not like "American furniture" as it is big, bulky and very heavy. Guess I will have to make the movers some cookies!!
