RatmansWife and tpcook- thank you both - using miles is certainly an option - and tgat plane option sounds fantastic too …still working Matt’s angle too…I just sent him the box dimensions too….I dis want to post those here too for tpcook- I’d be curious where you’ll return back to in the states after Tortola…
Box sizing from Bamboushay
“Each sconce is approximately 12" x 5" wide. We wrap each one in corrugated roll.
We can double up on the card roll and each sconce can be carried in a carry-on, in our paper kraft bags OR in boxes.
If they are going under the plane, boxes are best. We can cut down boxes to just fit two sconces side by side. Let's say 14" Hx 14" W x 8" D
The sconces are placed flush back to back”
Estimated shipping cost from Bamboushay
“Since the US tariffs have hit our shipping costs, we are looking at maybe $200 per box.
It used to cost maybe $75 - $90 to ship two sconces. If your contact can get the sconces into the US, the USPS charges shouldn't be that bad.”
Honestly the $400 ish price tag for shipping doesn’t seem unreasonable to me and it certainly won’t require anyone else assisting me while they are on vacation/travel…..but do like a good story!
Holler back if anyone wants to chat more - can move to email too or PM if desired
