Maybe this is "taking advantage" of The Entertainer's calculation system
but if you order a LOT, the postage seems to top out. at 10 it is way
less than what it is (each) for 3...

Buy the set. Mail it to me. I'll take it to the post office. You'll have it in 3-4
weeks (depending on Xmas). The cost would be ~$33 for insured shipping. I get my
shipping costs from:
www.parcelforce.com.

The cost of shipping two this way would be: $51
The cost of shipping five this way would be: $85

All this assume the packed set will be ~3kg (6-7 pounds)

I just looked at the toyshop.com site and saw the much talked about 40 GBP
Technic Shuttle.  According to my exchange calculator that works out to be
about $64.....not bad....but the shipping???!!! I live in the US and it would
cost me 32.28 GBP or about $51!!!!
I would probably buy one of these shuttles from them IF I could bring that
shipping cost down a little.  I am a builder, not a collector, so I really
don't care if the thing is triple boxed with 15 layers of padding or not.
Would anyone in the UK be willing to help out here? Time is really not a factor
as long as I know it would get here...
Thanks in advance,
Pat
