Arnie Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hmm go to online quote type thing. Plug in parcel details for TNT. Enter UK address, enter US address where it's going to. ..several seconds later wake up on floor, get off floor and have a whisky, then try to glace at the prices without passing out again. 500-700 smackers to post a blooming parcel to the US?!?

oikoik Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 someone i know posted a 5kg box, via speed post express from singapore to london. they posted it on a friday, it arrived here on monday morning. cost? s$97, including supplied box, equates to roughly 30-odd quid. was your quote including personal security bodyguards to make sure the box gets there? were they ex-sumo's and going first class? nutty prices Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 OJ had better deliver it to me in PERSON for that price. EDIT: Not to mention the receiver has to pay TAXES on top of that! Only shipping company that charges you 60usd in taxes 3 months AFTER you get the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Maybe they use MSN to plan the route? http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...?showtopic=7540 Link to post Share on other sites
richie_j Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Maybe mr T is delivering it!!!!!!! (going on the bases tha TNT stands for mr. T's National Transport) OR BRIAN BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'd pay 700 quid if brian blessed delivered a parcel for me in person. Link to post Share on other sites

R22Master Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Yeah, the MSN route planner was fixed a little while ago. There are bound to be some more strange routes in there :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I would have thought that shipments UK-USA were a pretty stnadard rate for given sizes and wieghts myself. I'm going to try someone half decent like UPS later on, jsut as soon as I find the local depot. Link to post Share on other sites
