Oh babe! What a pain. And yes, they are very heavy. We just replaced our old Sony CRT set with an LCD TV. It has been manhandled as far as behind the sofa and we are not sure what to do with it now! Hey it has picture - you want I should ship it to you?! LOL ;)

Hee!

Well, we've replaced the replacement with a replacement we'll now have to replace...so shipping us yours might in fact be quicker...

Wanna get us glides for our Ikea drawer while you're at it? The size we need is only sold in Britain anymore...and cost something reasonable but then like £60 for shipping.

Why would they cost that much to ship? Can't be that expensive - what ones are they?

Checked with Husband. They are drawer runners that are 17mm (height) x 440mm or 430mm (pull-out length). The 17mm is the important part because that's the track it fits into. They're sold in sets of two, usually, and Husband was just going to get 6 sets just to have backups. He said that per set they are $6-8 per set, but he needs at least 4 sets and getting them shipped is just prohibitive. Crazy!

We'd be thrilled if you could look this up and see if it were possible to send/find. If not, that's fine too. But they're just not available here as nothing is decimalised.
