biggest & most expensive 45 parcel

[Russoul1]

hi all, just been to the post office to pick up latest 45 purchased from the US, after having my first ever cracked 45 damaged in delivery from the UK

last week, I was more surprised to see this package not for the fact that in total it cost me more than £100 in postage and custom charges but the

size of the package for a sole 45................

ok most probably most that collect have had bigger than norm packages but this was by far the biggest ive had.

ok yourve seen the parcel now time for unwrapping or if I was a kid pass the parcel.....

[Russoul1]

ok dive into the polystyrene packaging must be a record in there somewhere......

[Russoul1]

ohhh bubble wrap must be inside......

[Russoul1]

ok time for pass the parcel 10 mins later after cutting thru layers of selotape.....

[Russoul1]

no...more bloody cardboard 10 mins later again after cutting thru layers of selotape....

its Christmas yeh

[Russoul1]

cant be too careful I suppose....any other stories of mass packaging for your tiny 45s

Thats nuts i hope it was worth the extra care and cost?

I had exactly the same few years ago for a sole 7" record from the USA when P&P was still non discriminating to non USA residents and the complicity of the seller willing to fool custom on commercial value didn't force me to break the bank to take it home. So it's only the fun of it and not the expenses around it that made it stay in my souvenir.
