Long shot - Delivery Denmark to UK.

[Blue Seas]

As said, long shot. I have some Hi-Fi speakers which I need to get from the manufacturer in Denmark to the UK. Although they advertise worldwide delivery, UK is apparently not available.
Failing all else I will drive there and collect but before I do I thought to ask if anyone on here might be able to assist?
2 x Plywood boxes about 1.5M X 0.5M X 0.5 - About 100 kg each. I'll post in East Coast forum as well.

There are companies in NI who will accept deliveries and forward them on to GB or Ireland.. avoids all customs paperwork etc...

might be a possibility..

An alternative is if you know someone who lives in the EU and comes to the UK periodically. A mate of mine got something delivered from a Belgian business to France and the guy then brought it over on his next trip to the UK.

What - just slip in two boxes 1.5 m long and 100kg each? And as noted, if buy in Denmark then bring to UK pay more VAT (25%) even if attempt to illegally smuggle in to the UK without paying UK VAT.

Live a little - this happens all the time.

All sorted now, thanks folks.

Blimey, that's a set of speakers. Hope the OP has a detached property!

House? They're for the cockpit.

Will you throw the speakers away once you have taken the contraband out.

100kg each? Are you sure? When they're shipped, make sure the terminals are shorted. This then uses back emf to dampen the cones moving when the speaker is being transported.

Could be Dali Cores. Or one of the models in that range. The biggest ones are monsters.

When you’re in the middle of an Ocean on your own they might be useful then.

In Marinas and anchorages less so.

Should make good mooring sinkers.
