Default shipping an a600 to japan
I recently sold an a600 to a Japanese buyer on ebay!! I was rather shocked someone would be willing to pay #100 for shipping an a600, who says the amig ais dead lol. Anyway does anyone know of a good reliable company I could use for this from the UK?

Royal Fail as I call them, DHL I have found are good (to me at-least). UPS are ok apparently, just dont use anyone like Amtrak.

As I mentioned in another thread, I used these guys to get a set of Ducati cylinders from Mansfield to the USA (Weak Dollar is good for us :-D ) . They have contracts with the big guys, and big savings can be made. It doesn't cost you owt to check their prices :-D

I sent a DreamCast (it was quite a big lot too) to Japan once by Parcel2Go (DHL basically) and it cost £65 and got there faster than a Royal Mail package sent out the same day in the UK :/
