Collector's corner: Shipping from the States to Europe?

Post by Dr. Axel Schumacher »

Hey there,

I guess several of you guys did send chess computer to Europe before. Do you have a good advice to ship it cheap? I bought one large wooden unit in the States and so far the seller came up with a quote over 170$ :shock: , which is too much. There must be a way cheaper way. I send several large chess-computers to North-America and paid usually between 50 and 80 $, depending on delivery time.
Please spare some advice.

Regards,
Axel

Maybe you could explore he chance to send it by sea. Fares are lot lower and the delay is just some extra days. Well, sometimes weeks....
