Re: Best way to ship a Tek 7904 mainframe?

Jose,

We used to ship items that size overseas (computer workstations and
monitors) and found that Airborne offered good freight rates. From
memory their rate for a shipment larger than yours from USA to
Australia was about $100. Spain is closer than that.

There is another way. United Airlines are offering round trip
tickets from US cities to European cities for less than $300.00.
Come and pick it up! When it costs the same to ship a person round
trip as the freight for a scope, you are paying too much for freight.

If you need more freight help, contact me at jstanton@....

Regards

John Stanton

Hello!

I have located a very nice Tektronix 7904 / 7B92 / 7A16A / 7A13
system but
have the _small_ problem of shipping it from USA to Spain. It is
already
professionally packaged but quoted price is $295 (by FedEx). I
wonder if
there is any other way to send such an item to Spain, without
incurring in
so large expenses. Perhaps some of you have experiences sending
items
overseas?

Thanks!

JOSE
