copy pasted from my other thread:

I recently won an auction through Phillips de Pury and now i have run into a huge issue with shipping, they have quoted me over 5 x what i was expecting to pay.. this they assure me is there cheapest option. So currently my toy is sitting in a shipping warehouse in NYC and i have to try find an alternative way to get it here to Australia.

If i was in NYC i could pick this up and pay the additional tax, they have also stated i can arrange shipping myself. The only other option i can think of would be to get them to ship to an extremely kind skullbrainer who could forward this onto me and i would pay any associated costs.

Does anyone out there have any experience with a similar situation or any advice?

Thanks
Jared

Where in the city is Phillips, Can I pop in on a weekend? Is it just one toy?
Let me know, I might be able to pick it up for you.
