This is the reason I mentioned parcel2go - they send thousands of parcels daily 
so can negotiate a cheaper rate for shipping with the same companies thee and 
me use. I assume ReShip do the same thing.

Here's my experience with US re-shipping agents. Their charges vary in skewed 
ways not
always easy to guage. With the one I decided to use, I've had a 1 ounce packet 
of LEGO
bricks reposted at an outrageous cost of $40+ USD to Australia. On the other 
hand, they
shipped my mainframe console from NJ to Oz at an entirely reasonable rate, and 
looked
after it pretty well. If you have to use them make sure the seller attaches 
copies of the
invoice or eBay sale page etc. to the inside and outside and also posts a 
signed or
initialled one to you seperately as it really helps with customs.

In summary they are a lifesaver if the seller has pulled up the drawbridge (as 
some of
them have) to get an item shipped internationally. There are a lot of them to 
choose from
and to be honest I just went with the one that looked to have the friendliest 
website and
offered some extra services (repack item, photos of received item, amalgamation 
of
shipments etc.) but you could certainly do some comparisons on their re-postage 
rates.

I think its more about being able to ship things were the vendor doesn't ship 
to the UK, or where you want to consolidate multiple shipments.

Interesting. I just checked the site. It looks to be mostly about giving you a 
US mailing address, but then it just ships to you using a normal carrier such 
as USPS, UPS, Fedex etc., so it doesn't seem likely that it would be a cheaper 
way, or am I missing something?

Hi Rob,

I’ve been told about reship.com who I guess are like a US equivalent of 
parcel2go over here. You pay domestic US shipping to them and they add a 
surcharge to forward it over to you, presumably by boat. What I don’t know is 
how that affects import duty etc but it might be worth looking into.

Re: FTGH Large amount of DEC/Misc Classic computer hardware

[Guy Sotomayor Jr via cctalk]

I stopped by and picked up some stuff from Peter today.  There’s a lot of stuff
but I was only prepared to take a few items (I ended up taking a couple of tek
‘scopes too).

I didn’t have time to sort through everything that was available but there’s a 
lot!

He did mention that he has to be out of his space by May 31st and anything that 
isn’t
picked up will be scrapped.  I did take some pictures that I’ll put up sometime
tomorrow but what Pete has on his list below seems pretty accurate.

Pete is located in Richmond CA.  I can forward his contact information to anyone
that is interested in acquiring some/all of the remaining stuff.

So far noone that matters has said anything that dumb to me.  Why would 
I save things at significant expense and continue to collect them for 20 
to 40 years then "get rid of that junk".


I am lucky not o have such a person in a significant place.

I'm glad you are good with yours, but I'd not be there.  It does mean I 
don't have an Architecture Digest presentable house as well. And am 
starting to "play with it".


Thanks for sharing it with the list too.  I'm in southern CA and not 
able to help with your offload.  My own pile is as big as yours and is 
hard to deal with.


thanks
Jim

Yeah we have a new place but less storage room at least for a couple of years
I also thought I would be playing around with my old computer stuff when I 
retired, but I really dont see that happening (retiring soon or playing with
