    Shipping Agent Needed

    Anybody near Stockton, CA?

    How much for being a relay station of a bit over 10kg parcel?

    Don't know the situation of the case now.
    It should be over but it's still hanging in my shopping cart.

    The package is around 35lbs and size is not difficult.

    USPS First-Class Package International Service—Commercial Plus to price group 4 Finland seems to be $43.
    That's very reasonable, if I got it right.

    The idea was that I reroute the package to you and you put it forward or ask them to collect and pay with my money.
    Pretty simple or am I missing something?

    Have you considered using one of the numerous commercially available services? For example, MyUS?

    It's different for now, can't reach the seller.

    First thought earlier was that doing what seller wants is the best approach.

    One other item I checked was in Quebec, close to Montreal, 62 CAD and 9x shipping.

    Maybe distance is sort of a relative value.

    First package is in the country.
    (FedEx)

    Am I remembering it right that YW had some quality problems earlier, just a package mechanics?
    Local post told they have only very few bad ones.

    I haven't had any issues. Then again, I don't ship much from the US.

    Maybe it was somebody from almost your direction.
    Maybe it was years ago, always in motion and so on.

    Anyway, the package arrived and it was pretty low of average packaging.
    I paid for extra padding put not fragile stickers, based on earlier experience.
    The expectation was that myUS puts the thing in a new box, over the old one, they didn't.
    Maybe they saw that leaving possibly old fragile stickers being topmost was best.

    Extras I found was a tiny screw of the item case wandering around the package, thread ok, out and in,
    two legs technically not found, and two stumps, used top be legs.

    Leg stumps had made conciderable holes to the bottom of the cartboard box but that tiny screw was still there, with some padding.
    First thought was making a complaint but then dropped it.
    The machine I bought was sold broken, it isn't.
    Some parts are missing but I gave a positive ebay feedback anyway, I assume that the seller didn't remove those parts, old seals were unbroken.
