[rescue] Anyone in Rhode Island that can help with shipping a SS1000?

[Lionel Peterson]

For reasons that elude me, I once shipped a SS1000 to Australia/New Zealand using an Expediter - as I recall the process was I delivered it to them as-is, they professionally packed it (a few hundred dollars for a custom wood crate/pallet), and they handled all import paperwork and negotiated shipment. It wasn't cheap, but it was EASY.

Assuming your seller can deliver the items to such a service it should be a very straight-forward process.

I don't know anyone in RI that provides such a service, but I don't remember it being very hard to find them with a quick google/duckduckgo search.

There are list members in RI as I recall, maybe they have experience in such shipping?

Also, Dave M. At LSSM in PA may be familiar with such services, as he is no stranger to shipping such items.

Good luck,

Ken
