Out of
curiosity, does anyone happen to have any idea just
how much it would cost to ship a 12 Volume Encyclopedia set
from England to the West Coast?
See if you have better luck with the ParcelForce website
than I did:
http://www.royalmail.com. You'll have to supply
it with some info like weight and size. Guessing for these
I ended up with something like ?40 ($60) but it's easy to
drive this up or down, try airmail if you need a shock :-)
Thanks for the info!
The non-airmail is enough of a shock. The set weighs in at about 15Kg, so I listed it as
18Kg to allow for error and packaging. I came up with about ?80 shipping on something
that's currently at ?31 on eBay.
Somehow I just don't think I'll bother bidding on this as I don't think I want
to pay to ship it :^/
P.S. Yes,
I'm seriously thinking of getting a set of
Encyclopedia's from England.
Out of interest - a set of Encyclopedia's what exactly :-)
"National Encyclopedia 12 Vols 1870's"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3546724019&categ…
I'm looking for 2-3 old (1870's to 1930's timeframe) Encyclopedia's for a
couple of writing projects. I probably should be smart and see what all is available in
this area.
OK, I just realized something, it should be 13 volumes, and it's missing one volume.
I *definitely* won't be bidding on it.
