You probably know this already, but if you're willing to pay, there are 'pack and ship' services who will show up at a location, take the stuff to be shipped, go pack it up, and ship it. I have used PakMail: http://www.pakmailcanada.com/ several times to retrieve things in this way (they shipped my PDP-11/45 from Ontario, although the seller did a lot of the packaging in that particular case), and have generally been happy with them. I don't see a London location, but maybe one of their other Ontario locations: http://www.pakmailcanada.com/pakmail-canada-locations is close enough to be useable? Noel
