Shipping a rig to Europe?

Recommended Posts

What does this cost? How long does it take? Who's the best at it? Might be going on an extended vacation and it'll be impossible to carry it with me. Can I just ship it straight to the DZ? Could I do that ahead of time or should I be there when it gets there?

Hey clay, i dont know on costing to ship, but you're more than welcome to get it shipped to me so you know its somewhere safe.

Either pick it up on the way through, or i can forward it on. :)

A rather heavy rig (container and a 170ish reserve sans main) got here from Canada in exactly 19 days after the guy said he posted it; and it cost about $76 - canada post.

On the other hand, a main is still getting here from the USA (it's been a month already), with about $50 cost - usps I believe. I can't wait... :p

Subtract a few days (it being Russia in my case), and you get possibly correct estimate...

To avoid any customs hassle, declare it as used/gift, and at a low value. If you put it on insurance, may want to leave the insurance field empty - if it does get lost, you get your money back anyway, and if it doesn't, the customs officers won't raise eyebrows.

Of course, customs IS rather unfriendly (ok..very unfriendly) here, so it's an issue... :)
