Well, I'd just like to say thanks for all the advice regarding shipping this
expensive set from overseas! The set arrived today in Michigan in perfect
shape. Phew!! Some of you guys had me worried. The amazing thing was that he
just mailed it on friday...2 days from England to Michigan? Simply Amazing.

For all of those who requested higher detail scans of the box, I'll post links
here when I get my scanner back from a friend. The box is indeed in near
perfect shape, in fact, most of the new sets I buy aren't in this nice of
shape!

John

P.S. Go MSU!

And how is it being shipped and being
protected during its journey? I can see customs looking at the form and
saying "Lego worth $2,000+ US? NAHH - lets open it with this really big and
rusty knife and see whats really in it"

This isn't such a remote possibility.  My brother had a sealed 7824 shipped
to the US from the Netherlands and customs slaughtered the box.  Hopefully
whatever shipping/insurance arrangements were made took this into account.

(...) That's amazing. I think that in that case I would have hand- delivered it! Considering what happened last summer when I sent you a single Priority Mail box, I was a bit worried myself-- especially if a neighbour had sticky fingers. Thank (...)

(...) Wow, that's incredible! Fastest I've ever heard prior to that for something small via regular airmail was 3 days from Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A. to Köln, Germany. What method of shipment was used? Was it regular airmail? (...) Wow. Drool. --Todd (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.market.shipping)
