The dimensions are certainly not small, but so large? I bet an A1200 box is less than 58cm. And my understanding is that CD32 is certainly not as big as an A1200. But I never had one so what do I know?


An A1200 box is huge! Probably close to 100cm wide by 20 high by 50 long... Had one shipped from Northern Ireland (which is the UK) to myself in the Republic (which is not the UK but has a land border to N.I.) and the postage was fairly serious on that, possibly around £30. Bearing in mind that it only had to come 200 miles down the road in a truck it was quite serious. £100 doesn't seem so out-of-the-ordinary for UK shipping (which is ridiculous)...
