Have some interest in my TurboColor slabs from the UK, but have no idea the best way to ship it. USPS Priority quotes me 120USD, which is a lot, so I wanted to see if our UK friends in here had any better solutions.

well in my opinion is not expensive, from UK to US will cost £180 aprox. for only the CPU + Keyboard + Mouse,
the Monitor about £200
I've received some heavy stuff from USA to Italy and USPS was always the more economical and safe way.
Moreover (this maybe off-topic) let me take the opportunity to add some experiences about a shipping of a TurboColor.
I've received mine from very near (EU to EU) and after the shipment I've found the CPU unplugged from the motherboard. Fortunately I was able to realign all the pins and put it back at work.
So maybe is the case to see also how to prevent this risk.
wow, that was a high fall off ... so the CPU could jump ... you can not prevent this, because the people working on transport really do not care about it..
my girl friend recived a new imac with a foot print on the box, so you can imagne how that box was carried ...

Yes, I think it is a really unusual eventuality. Nobody had similar experience?

Ugh. I thought that with new stuff they put more attention.
