Shipping a turntable with plinth from England to USA

Hi!

I am considering purchasing a used Garrard turntable with a heavy plinth from a gentleman in England.  He is "throwing in" an amp to go with it.  The two packages will weigh about 75 lbs.  He has never shipped anything that weighs this much to the USA before.  He is at the beginning on his end looking into this.  

Any advice on a moderately inexpensive way to do this?

He and I have already discussing the issue of the gear being packaged safely for its trip to the USA.

Thanks!

The very best way is to DELIVER this package to UK cargo airlines and then PICK UP same from cargo airlines in USA.

Even $100k speakers you can ship this way no issue.

you can give it a try to offer $400 + possible international shipping savings and see if you get luck.

sometimes what you really have to do is ask.
