International Shipping - seeking advice.

[Prana69]

Hi SNA

 

So, I have this large Beatles record collection which *may* end up being sold to an international bidder.  Wise people here suggested i seek some advice on international shipping costs, insurance, packaging and returns policies etc.

 

Can anyone recommend a reliable, cost effective international shipping service?

 

I'm pretty confident with the packing, but there are a total of 230 records, plus some memorabilia items.  I'm planning on packing 50 per box = 5 + 1 for the memorabilia.  The album boxes will weigh about 13kg each.  The other about 10kg.  So that's 6 boxes for a total of 75 kilos.

 

Recommendations?  General advice?

 

Thanks

David

Hi David ,

 

Depend where you send to, if send by post  but best way if send 20 kg each box this way shipping cost much more less than 10 kg each box .

 

Alternative send by Fedex 25kg box "this box provide by Fedex which save a lots too .

 

Regards

 

David.

check out Interparcel. I have used them to buy and sell a few times now-all internationally. Just received a phono stage I bought from Singapore today. Singapore to Bunbury, WA-4 days, door to door! I have never had an issue and would highly recommend. See link below
