From the way that reads God help us all, if they find out that Nixies DO contain Mercury, albeit a minuscule amount. HOWEVER, ANY amount of mercury is forbidden on commercial airliners as far as I know. Ira

Aaron, that sucks big time. I'm a big fan of Brimar tubes and the fact that they trashed it /without/ prior notification is not only painful to hear but would make my blood boil. Just imagine if they did that to nixie tubes or other vacuum tubes /that actually contain Hg....

Ass-hats.

Thanks for the heads up...I've had quite a few CRT's shipped internationally, but none of this nonsense (thank your deity of choice).

    I can't help but share this experience with the Global Shipping
    Program. I bought a beautiful Brimar CRT and it was duly shipped

    without the seller's consent! (And for no valid reason.)

    Dear XXXXX (the seller)

    My name is Nick. Thank you for contacting eBay’s Global Shipping
    Programme department.  I understand you require more information
    for item #272653050020.

    Your sale of item #272653050020 through the Global Shipping
    Programme couldn't be delivered because the shipment contained
    items that were found to be restricted from transport.

    If an item arrives to our shipping hub and the item is restricted
    from international carriage, our hub will not proceed with the
    shipment and will safely dispose of the item. This is process is
    subject to dangerous goods only. In this instance the item
    contains amp tube(s) possibly manufactured pre-70s. In that era
    most lamps & tubes had mercury reflectors. In the absence of clear
    data ruling out the risk, your item has been rated UN3506, Mercury
    contained in manufactured article. Class 8, Corrosive & Toxic.
    Restricted to all countries on our system

    By choosing to ship your item with the Global Shipping Programme,
    you agree to certain terms and conditions of the programme, one of
    which is that when an oversized item is received at the shipping
    hub, it is liquidated and the buyer is refunded by eBay. No money

    I am sorry we have not been able to forward your item. We thank
    you for all of your eBay business and hope that this information
