Need used Tandy imprinting machine and Standard Rivet #2

[wildrose]

Here are some pictures. I got this machine and the hardware with it from a friend of mine, Ben Hughes. He had reconditioned it, but his health was failing and he couldn't make use of it. I kept it for a while, and he has since passed away. I, however, have not really had a use for it. Initially, I screwed it to a small workbench and tried it a few times, but it's just not something I need. I'd rather part with it for a low price + shipping and know someone is making use of it!

So if you're still interested, it comes with these attachments, and instruction sheets as well (and some dust!)

Hi Wildrose,

Sorry about Mr. Hughes. I'm still interested in it and will make good use of it.

Thanks!

Thanks :-) He was a kind man and very generous to me.

I put all the hardware together in one box, and will take it and the machine to a shipping store either later today or early tomorrow for weighing and an estimate on shipping.

Hello,

Take your time.I'll wait. Thank you!

Bad news: I was at a shipping outlet this a.m. and whether it goes via UPS, FedEx or DHL, it will cost between USD250-300.00 to ship I'm thinking in such a case it'd obviously be better to just buy it new. Tandy must have either an agreement with the shippers, or they're shipping it within Europe/Asia.

I'm sorry.

Hi Wild Rose,

It's really frustrating.But maybe we can try other ways.

1)

Do you try the USPS? Calculate the shipping cost online.

I think it will be much cheaper via USPS than DHL,UPS...

2)

Or you can leave me the weights and dimensions of the box and your shipping address.

I know a shipping dealer here in Taiwan,they shipped sewing machines from the US before.

They have contracts with DHL,UPS,etc, will cost cheaper.

Let's see if they work. I'm a serious buyer and will try any methods that work.

I'm going to be going out of town for the weekend, but will look into it again Monday. The main issue with the post office is I'd have to pack it all myself, and I don't have the supplies for that. Most of the places here like Mailboxes Etc will do it all for you at a reasonable rate.

You meant that you will take the machine to somewhere like Mailboxes to help you box it, then take it to the post office?

if so,okay,I'll wait til next Mon. Thank you.

Check the attached photo,please. Shipping cost of Tandy imprinting machine from an eBay seller via USPS is about $90.00.

Notice the price of the machine, though!

Stores such as Mailboxes Etc run a service where they will pack the item, then have it picked up for shipping via whatever service you choose (FedEx, UPS or DHL) . They are NOT affiliated with the Postal Service.
