I'm often asked how is it possible to ship a barograph and other valuable instruments safely to all parts of the United Kingdom and even the world. With experience gained over the years I've perfected a systematic procedure of preparing the mechanism and the case for shipping. The instrument is then tightly wrapped in several layers of bubbble wap and placed in a sturdy triple layered rigid cardboard box with a foam base and finally surrounded in soft polystyrene 'peanuts'.
For UK shipping I use the Royal Mail next day, tracked service and depending on weight and size the cost will normally vary between £18 and £30.
For all destinations abroad obviously costs will vary and I use UPS or FedEx .
For further reassurance have a look at these comments from customers......
