Can I ship a lawnmower and snowblower?
If yes, What do I need to do to get them ready?

Unless things have changed, they would have to be drained of all gas and oil and have the spark plug removed, but there is really no need to ship them since lawnmowers are available through the housing office. Snow blowers weren't but if you're in quarters, then you wouldn't need it either. I would recommend you just place them in storage.

Like others have mentioned, they are shippable but I HEAVILY discourage you from taking them. Not only is it a huge hassle to do all the requirements but you'll be able to borrow the equipment you need from the base or others. Trust me, it's not worth it.

If I may ask, where are you scheduled to go to?

Sometimes it easier to have your own mower depending on where you are going to. PITA to go every week or two and borrow a mower.

Thanks everyone for the info. I think I will sell them off.
