Any suggestion about the best shipping method in the UK?
It is quite a valuable box, and the insured amount can make quite a difference.

I think you need to make it a condition that they are only shipped insured, not cheap but there is a lot of money in that box.

They will definitely have to be shipped insured (more terms and conditions on the way: usual "keep it clean", "use a patch","don't let the dog chew it"). Anyone familiar with Royal Mail rates?

The ligatures look great too: I love the metal ones which follow the faceted contours of the body, genius!

agree - love the phrasing!!!

This may be the way to go?

This is the way to go. Some more commercial value in the box, but close enough.
Thanks @c9off

That sounds exciting. Might need to get my family out of the house to have a go at that extensive collection. Sop and Alto in 7 might be a bit open for me, but you never know. What baritone is included? A PPT6 and a refaced Berg Larsen is the competition it has to stand against. I wonder how to get that valuable box back across the channel after testing.

And you are likely to be the unlucky one.
Ask @kevgermany for shipping advice (He will get them while he is in the UK)

 

[Alphorn]

What is the value of the box? Going for 2000 € with DHL will be almost 40 € and 1000 € value is probably to low for 7 mouthpieces. Need to check other couriers.

As insurance is s a form of gambling, €1000 could be OK if @Absolute agrees.

Just weighed the box at work: 680grams , so special delivery guaranteed is £9.55.
@aldevis please send me address details for the next up in PC, so I can send as soon as I'm finished.
I am using insulation tape (double layer) as a substitute to patches, as to avoid scratching the pieces.
Cheers, M.

Bari is a 6 in composite.

Next in line is @fibracell
Address sent.

 

[aldevis]

The order is the one on my previous post, with a catch:
wherever the pieces are when Kev is in the UK, the pieces go to Germany with him, and Alphorn follows.
While they are there, I wonder if @spike or other Teutonic residents are interested.

 

[Jeanette]

@aldevis is there a sop lig in the box?

 

[aldevis]

Yep.
SAT ligatures
SATB resin mouthpieces
SAT metal mouthpieces

 

[Jeanette]

Yep.
SAT ligatures
SATB resin mouthpieces
SAT metal mouthpieces

Can I be cheeky then, I wasn't going to bother and confuse myself with mouthpieces but do fancy trying the lig if Kev didn't mind it could come to me at the start or just before his visit as I have to meet up with him sometime and then I can pass the box to him?

[aldevis]

I will work out the list accordingly 🙂

 

[MMM]

OK, box is on its way to @fibracell : delivery tomorrow before 1:00pm.

@MMM thanks for the heads up...
