shipping turntables overseas
not sure if this is the right subforum, but here goes...
do you think a couple of turntables would survive being carried as excess baggage in the hold (possibly in flightcases since the original boxes have long since gone), or would shipping by freight in a packing case be a better alternative
i'm thinking that the platter would need to be removed, or at least taped down so as not to spin round, but just worried that a) the temperature in the hold wouldn't be ideal and b) the baggage handlers would end up throwing the cases around regardless of the number of 'fragile' stickers...
cheers
RE: shipping turntables overseas
I'd rather not hand carry a table with me. You might want to check BRI air freight in Brisbane if you are sending parcels overseas. This is also a good time to gather some delivery costings for your most common package sizes and weights. But you have to take note that the international shipping rates will vary depending on your location and on the weight of your turntables.
