I’ll be flying to the UK at Easter 2009. A long way off, though.
My mother will be flying there in April this year, maybe too soon. You’d need to pay the extra luggage fee though which is airline dependent and I dont know which airline she’s using (also it would be a bit unwieldy for a 68yo granny to lug about) or if she’d agree. My sister MAY be coning out to visit around October and she’d probably be able to do it.
NZ Post won’t ship something bigger than 20Kg or 40cm x 40cm x 40cm (length+girth<=2m). This costs $276.86 for 10-25day delivery time.
Don’t forget there will be import duty shipping into the UK (since I assume there is a $ value on this thing).
Seven Seas will ship a tea chest (40cm x 50cm x60cm) to london in 84 days for $220 all inclusive, or door to door in 21 days for $595 (!). However the price goes up slower - five of this size is $600. I don’t know how big a golem would pack, and you’d not want to squeeze it up too much. Maybe 2m x 0.5m x 0.5m? That would be 4 tea chests, and $505.
