First of all,,,,be prepared to have ALL ,,,I repeat,,ALL YOUR BOXES,,, rifled through....they will go through every box and steal what they want. The longer your container is in the port (customs), the more time they will have to steal. After they go through your well packed boxes and take what they want,, they will throw everything back into whatever box they want. In other words, your kitchen articles will end up in your bedroom boxes.....and I repeat,,,,,THEY WILL STEAL EVERYTHING YOU HOLD DEAR TO YOUR HEART....
