Hey everyone! We’re close to having our house packed up for our move from England to the US. I have a lot of fossils that need packing but I’m really nervous about it all. My main concern is what I should do as far as who packs them. Would you let the movers pack them (and if anything is damaged in transit then you can claim it) or would you pack it yourself? My problem is that if the movers pack it, they don’t really care and some things are definitely going to be damaged, but if I pack it and it’s damaged then I don’t get compensated. Ugh, I’m so frustrated over this!
Also, I have a few riker cases so should I take the fossils out of them or would a piece of felt on the inside between glass and fossils be enough to protect everything.
I’m at a loss on how to move internationally with fossils! Any advice or wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
Edited to add: I also have a bottle of Paraloid that I would like shipped with me. Most packing people won’t allow liquid, and some don’t care and will pack anything. Is that something I can pack in my checked luggage or should I just say goodbye to it and get more at our next base?
