I once had an Olivetti M20 shipped internationally from Italy. The shipping cost me as much as the computer, but the seller managed to cram the computer, monitor, keyboard, printer, and manuals all into one tightly packed box, and it actually arrived 100% intact and functional. But for every success story there are horror stories of the shipping companies destroying vintage gear.
