    ITS A M-6000 Hello, I’m currently in possession of a Luxman than I’m trying to ship but because of its weight I’m wondering what is the best avenue of shipping it. It’s missing the wood trim around it, but it is a genuine M-6000

    My take on packing a turntable

    As a shipping and receiving clerk for a number of years in my younger days, I learned a lot about how to pack items for safe transit. I know there's already instructions here and on the internet already, but many of them, IMHO, give bad advice or lack important details. So here's my take on how...

    International Shipping from Canada to Australia - big problem

    Hi, I am looking at buying a turntable off eBay Canada but the seller only seems to ship to Canada and the USA. Are there people or service to act as third party shippers? That is, is there a service where the turntable is shipped to the service which then on forwards it to Australia - for a...

    Ds2000 is a fine seller

    I bought an amp from him which was packed carefully and arrived in great shape. His description of the condition was accurate and clear, and communication and payment were easy. All in all an excellent transaction and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again. Many thanks to an excellent...

    Need Shipping Advice

    I came across an Amplifier for a great price. The seller doesn’t have the original box to ship the Amplifier so he’s not offering shipping and is only doing pick up. I offered to send him a box and packing supplies and arrange a pick up but he doesn’t trust himself packing it. I also offer to...

    Selling and shipping

    I'm just curious for those of you who have sold speakers on this site do you do local pickup only? If you do ship how do you actually ship the speakers? It seems like the bigger speakers would not be safe to box up and ship and very difficult given the size.

    ILLBEHAVE is a world-class shipper!

    Just bought what is probably my end of the road amplifier, a recapped Threshold 400a. In 15 years of buying stuff and sweating bullets until it arrives, this is the most amazing packing job I have ever seen, and if you've seen the Threshold, it's nearly impossible to grab, due to the heat...

    EBAY FOREIGN SHIPPING ADVICE NEEDED

    I need advice from experienced ebay sellers and shippers to OVERSEAS. I haven’t used Ebay in a while. Last time 3 years ago, a MC phono cartridge. Ebay took control of the shipping, sent it 2000 miles East, then 3000 miles back West, then 7,300 more miles to Hong Kong. 5000 needless miles. I’m...

    MCS 8228 - How do I ship these beasts?

    I found a pair in great shape from good ol CL for a fantastic price. Only problem is they are about 3000 miles away. Fortunately, I have a friend who lives about an hour away and he picked them up for me! They’re as good as mine. Except not really, because obviously he can’t drive them out to...

    Bostown packs beautifully

    I recently bought a preamp from Bostown and sent it to my brother, who was amazed about the packing quality, as well as the condition and quality of the preamp itself. Thanks to Bostown for the easy, fair, and rewarding transaction! Nolan

    Does shipping a receiver with WC-22 case installed present challenges?

    Quick question for those that ship receivers all the time. I have a great packing system for standard Marantz receivers (and others) and never experience damage in transit. But I've never shipped one with a wood case installed. Anything I should look out for? Should the case be shipped...

    Will this TT make it through shipping?

    I have packed and shipped a few TT's and they all made it through, but for some reason I was searching the web for articles or videos on packing, and I came across this one. Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think this table would make it across the street. There is way too much empty space inside...

    Shipping From USA To Canada With Recipient Prepaying (me)

    I'm sure someone can help with this one. A great audiokarma member offered to ship me two tweeters. Since it's only fair that I prepay the shipping, I tried USPS, but it won't allow me to use a Paypal account based in Canada even though the account is in U.S. Dollars, and it won't allow to be...

    Sigh... Best instructional video on packing a turntable for shipment?

    I received a turntable today from an eBay auction and, sigh, the seller knew nothing about turntables. It's in shambles. Since I will likely buy another turntable on eBay or someplace where they'll have to ship it, does anyone have a good YouTube video on how to pack a turntable properly before...
