Moving a list between site collections and keeping all data/metadata

Im currently working on migrating my team's information from one SP site collection (their old site) and into a new site collection.

I have one list which needs moving -  a request ticketing system for the team.

What I want to know is, is it possible to move a list between site collections and keep all the records/columns intact. I've read on different sites that this isn't directly possible, and that the typical methods of moving (I've tried Designer import/export) simply move the aspx. forms- so the actual page, but not the content.

I've tried:

* Saving as a template - for some reason I had a warning message about the content being too big?

* exporting as a spreadsheet - then creating a spreadsheet list - all of the fiels appear as text, which isn't useful as I want to preserve fields wich list people and groups

* as I've said - exporting/importing using a web package via designer.

I'm not very technically minded, so any options which avoid masses of code would be fantastic, but any input is welcome
