Exactly! May I ask why you are buying it from here and sending it there? Different plug sockets too.
I mean to do it through Airmail is expensive enough but to go through a courier will be worse!
Good luck in your searchMinds are like parachutes - they only function when open.

It's a broken box. I'm doing a trade online. Cheers all.0

are they wanting the whole xbox or just parts?0

Whole box unfortunately. I could keep the PSU, but it would still weigh allot.
It's about £30 quid to ship, so i doubt i'll do it. ty0 -
would they be happy to recieve it in parts?
you could then split it down into smaller/lighter parcels0 -
hmm, but the case and mobo would still be bulky. Although they are tech savvy, and would be ripping it apart anyway.
Maybe you coudl sweet talk postman sam for me hahah.
Around £30 for the thing shipped air mail, thats not too bad i suppoose. I'll try and find a UK trader though.
Cheers for all your help. This can be closed, unless anyone knows a cheaper methed of posting it.0
