In a sturdy cardboard box it's 62 kilos.

Dojj, a standard MT-75 is quite a few kilos lighter than a Quaife big tooth or Mullett box.

Also, I think it was the "shipping weight" that Will really needed to know on this occasion.

+ my time and hassle for packing the fooking thing to send to poland , I cannot belive how much work it has been to get a quote to transport it.

Interlink Don't want to know
UPS only send heavy items if you have an account
Parcel force won't answer the phone when they put me through to the european export desk

Finally got that quote off DHL, and being passed round about 5 departments

No one wants to be paid to do a job

cheers for the replys though

we will wait and see, he recons he is paying by direct bank transfer, so I have had to set up a new account to minimize the risk of fraud/scamming etc, I would have quite happily taken the £20 less and sold it in the uk
