Hi Guys,
Every airport has AirFrieght docks.
You can go there days before, even a week before. You go there
with things unpacked, and let them inspect. Then you pack it all up and it goes
on an airplane to the frieght dock where you are heading. When you land,
you just drive over to the d
Deutsche Post which owns DHL, Lufthansa, Danzas, etc. is very deep into
transportation.
