I've had full size cases, maps included, moved several hundred miles
without incident.  A moving company was used for the transfer.

    Anybody had experience "mailing" or shipping full-sized, 5-drawer
    units? Is it worth it to ship a
    bunch of used cases 250 miles, or is it a nightmare waiting to
    happen? That is, am I better off,
    financially or otherwise, simply buying new ones?

    Thanks very much.
