The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

hi everyone.
i hope to soon buy a edison standard 2 clip phonograph however the main boundary is postage, the seller got a quote from UPS for $470 which is rediculous.
can anyone tell me who is the cheapest to go for to send a edison standard weighing 22 pounds (just under 10kg) in a box 19"x16"x17" from oregon USA to newcastle UK.
thanks
Alex

Maybe you should ask on the UK forum. I'm sure many UK collectors have bought over here. $400.00+ seems about right for what your having shipped.

it doesnt seem right to me!, it seems very expensive, especcially since i am having a edison home phonograph shipped from texas and with insuerance that is only about $160!,i have just been told by the seller that he has found a service at a decent price so the case may be solved
