Sony PS-X9

I sent an email asking what the shipping cost would be. I’m waiting for a response.

the automatic calculator on yahoo indicates scary prices regardless of the item; I have simulated some calculations and I have found that to send in Europe an item weighing 20Kg I would be asked  1000/1300 € and over, while the item could cost half.
I wrote to Yahoo complaining that those prices can only be paid for shipments to the moon or mars, I was told that the total cost of shipping is calculated at the end of the auction but all this is not correct; those who aim at the auction have the right to know the shipping costs first.
They are crazy at all.

The response I received, tells they are limited by size and weight (Japan Post),  However,  the "aledo" website says they can ship anywhere in the world with little restrictions, they contradict themselves... I emailed back, asking if they will or not, ship using other means.  Waiting for response.

I have not bought anything heavy from Aleado (Japan Yahoo)....but I have bought many cartridges and other items through them and their packing and safety of the goods is simply the best I have ever seen.
They send out literally thousands of items a week and I would trust them to use the best carriers.
For small items I have bought....it is always EMS which gets to Sydney from Japan in two days and is fully insured.
Good luck.....

I did not participate in the bidding (yahoo Japan).  Aledo states, Japan Post has size and weight restrictions, the TT exceeds all the restrictions.

Currently, I am looking at a Plantine Verdier.  Opinions??

You likely would have been fine 
The tt I purchased from Japan and is in transit now went by Japan EMS, whatever that is in reality .
However I understand your trepidation.
