I've found a deal on a fairly difficult to find frame but it is in the US and I'm not so keen to pay the £200+ shipping and import duty just yet. I know this is an absolute long shot, but is anyone shipping a container from the US to the UK any time soon that I could perhaps put this boxed and packaged frame into. I would be happy to contribute to the cost.

Cheers.

My dad lives half the year in Arizona and regularly ships 1930s Model A Fords back in containers, I’ll find out when he’s next bring stuff home, there will be space but probably won’t be for a few months...

Edit: he’s also flown back with frames I’ve purchased over there so might be an option if he’s feeling up to it...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
