Best way to ship computers from overseas

I did it by flying first class(on the return flight) on virgin atlantic (using frequent flyer points) (USA-UK) they then allow you to ship 4 pieces of luggage upto 83KG, 3 can be boxes. So I buy stuff in the UK, have it shipped to a friend, then go visit them, box the stuff up, take it with me on the plane. No real customs issues, although I always take the ebay win print out with me. So you get the ship it for less than any of the regular carriers and get a small vacation for what was probably much less.

Very painfully. Your best defense is to just say what it is: obsolete computer equipment for historical study. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
