The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Are there any collectors that live near Richmond, VA that would be kind enough to receive an upright phonograph shipment from a courier and hold it for a week or so until I can get there to pick it up?

I am currently corresponding with some private couriers about getting the phonograph in question to Richmond but I am afraid that I won't be able to get there to receive the shipment on the day and time in question.....

I am simply brainstorming right now.... Thanks in advance! - Chris

I don't know that I can help because I travel fairly often. But...send me a personal message as I might be able to work out something if we put our heads together.
Thanks! Lee

Running out of space will cure the urge to keep buying, though..... I think.....

A colleague in London UK used to receive his shipments in a store next his door. He had a particular agreement with the store owner to pick his packages, as he worked on stage and was always out from home on tour...
