Hmm.. i've been moving servers for 5 years now:) Well, i'd pull out the hdds and some other important parts with MECHANICAL MOVING PART and take it with me on a plane. The rest i'd send via UPS or FEDEX (i personally used fedex, it is expensive but no problems occured at all). I am pretty sure that you could use some ground based mailing for parsel delivery, that'd be a lot cheaper. And remember, HARDWARE can be restored or bought, INFORMATION is PRICELESS! So, keep all storage media under control, everything else is secondary. You do not need any parking utility, since all modern HDDs are autoparkable. I am sure i'l be fine with these recommendations. Good luck!
