O/T Shipping question

Posted By: Scott Forrest

I hate to get off-topic, but shipping has been discussed so much lately and I'm sure someone on the board could help.

I am trying to get a lightweight, long package shipped from Europe (over 1 meter). Thoughts on who to look into?

What's the value of the item?

It's a 1915-ish antique pool cue. Probably about $500, but I bought it for $75 on ebay, so that's probably what he'll insure it for. Thanks.

The seller found a place for L54 - considering the deal I got on the cue I won't complain, but the question might come up again since I might be buying more such items from overseas.

I have successfully shipped a pool cue wrapped, then packed in vermiculite and inserted in a piece of oil free steel pipe, screwed and capped at both ends.

The shipping costs go up substantially, but the damage potential is low.

Scott - Feel free to give me a buzz here in the office, my company might have some options available that would save you some bucks and then you could just pick it up from our warehouse.
