Good morning everyone.



I am quite pleased with this.




** expired/removed eBay auction **




But need a nice US based Acaeum-ite (or is it 'er'?) to receive it and send it on across the Atlantic - in a box.  Could anyone help?   :)

Hi,

be careful, those are really fragile.

I have one in, and the box is completely squashed flat.

Cheers,
Malc

How would you like it shipped and how does relay shipping work?

Relay shipping: item gets sent to person A. Person A then ships to the actual Person B who bought it.


Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

I figured that part.  What I meant was how would you pay for the item (lots of folks are leary about shipping to an address that isn't linked to your paypal account for instance)?

Thanks Stephen - I have had quite a few offers!

It is really great that so many people here are so willing to help everyone else (aaaahhh).  :D

I saw that he didn't ship outside of the US. So after I won, I dropped him an email offering offered him the option of shipping direct to me in the bustling city on the Thames, or to a US address (thought it a bit cheeky bidding without asking in advance so I thought offering him the option was the decent thing to do).  I suppose if he didn't like either option he could just sell it to the 2nd chance bidder.

Acaeum tradition has it that after paying for shipping, the recipient will owe the helpful member a favour to be collected at some point in the future, when, for example, one may require a business rival's favourite horse killed and the head placed in his bed...

I hear that's a personal favourite of some of the ATM members.
