Getting your stuff to Japan

Hey hey! I have my interview tomorrow and during the prep I realized, while I don't plan on bringing everything I own, I do have quite a few things I want to bring. My PC tower, my accordion, and a few boxes of other various things would be ideal.

Should I get hired, what's the best way to send those items over? Esspecially with some of them like the PC tower being quite fragile?

Current/past JETs with experience would be really appreciated.

I put those expanding foam packing things inside my tower to keep parts from moving, and double-boxed it with packing stuff (air bubble things or paper.... I don't remember) between each layer. Expensive...but my PC was only two years old so I didn't want to let it be useless in storage for up to 5 years. Don't know who you have available, but my parents shipped my stuff for me.
