And can someone explain to me WHY sending a CD32 would require a box of dimensions big enough to fit a human being inside?? He quoted: H=26cm W=45cm L=58cm
Ermm, have you seen the size of the PS3 or Xbox 360 box, I would say thats about right size wise, I know my CDTV Pro Pack box is massive (CDTV with keyboard, floppy etc), probably more like 75cm by 50 by 50.
As for the cost itself check out
ParcelForces website and use the online calculator, you should get this:
International Datapost From 2 days Tracked £103.35
Global Priority From 3 days Tracked £95.95
International Standard From 5 days Not Tracked £95.10
International Economy From 28 days Not Tracked £74.90
So he was right, And its not just Parcelforce, Heres UPS:
UPS Worldwide Express PlusSM 162.24 GBP*
UPS Worldwide ExpressSM 124.09 GBP*
UPS Express Saver 121.75 GBP*
I really dont think you should be so rude to the guy, how about you find a cheaper way to get it delivered (Say, use
http://www.parcel2go.com/) and see if he would ship by that.
Or you could ask just the CD32 to be posted, not the box and padding, which would save postage but is probably not what you would want.
(PS: This unit will be PAL)
