Is it Off Topic? Is it eBay insanity? Only the mods know for sure...
I gotta ship a Boxed Colecovision from the US to the UK. What's the best way to go? Best meaning not going to cost $150 and not take 3 years to get there.
Honestly, for the the weight of it, I would think air & ems would be close in price. Personally (if I'm looking at the auction I think you're talking about) I'd send it EMS. They'll have it in about 5 days or so, they can track it, it'll be insured.
Air will take about 2 weeks, but you're going on their honesty that it got there. Surface will take about 4-6 weeks and will be around the same price as EMS (atleast that package screw up was for me). Again, honesty rule applies.
EMS will probably run you about $60-70 though. If you send it this route, MAKE SURE THE EMPLOYEE INPUT THE CORRECT SHIPPING OPTION.
(btw. I think you'll be fine in here )
