If you wait until next spring:
I have booked a stay in Tuscany in April, so I could pick up the frame for you and bring it to Belgium
(for 29.99,-)

He/she did not update is location status on his profile until recently. Previous posts to this thread were at a time when "dog" did not have a location set and did not give any information about where (in Italy) the frame was being shipped or to where (in the EU) the frame would be received. Now that he/she has set his/her location, previous posts would not make any sense unless there was some clarification.

Thanks Prendrefeu.
In any way, I would not mind if I was just blind and didn't see that info.
What I do mind is, that it seems as if the opening poster does not give all the information that would answer his question, on purpose.
So for me it feels like he is wasting fellow WW's time and I consider this disrespectful.
I would be glad if proven wrong in this case.
If the opening poster would have invested a little more effort, I would be willing to ask some of the people I know going to Italy regularly, to see if they could take the frame. Just to show how far this can go, if only treating people with a little more respect.

Sorry, you misunderstood me. I wasn't insinuating that everyone was missing the location info. Simply that his/her allusion to secrecy is undermined by their willingness to now give such info. Again, he/she appears to be being obtuse about the whole thing.
I linked to the post from 30th Oct because i co-incidentally stumbled upon it and found it odd that there was location info then but not when he/she started the thread. That must have been another co-incidence of timing - he/she must have updated their location info between me seeing the US DUMB post (made sans location info) and me stumbling across the 30th Oct post. (If you add location info it retrospectively amends all previous posts)

What a cheesy poster. What's wrong with people on this board?
I gave enough and the most pertinent information in my post to begin with. Given that people will only read 50-75% of the actual post, best to keep it short and stupid.
I'm out of this silly forum. Carry on chatting amongst yourselves..

I am looking for something cheaper, I'm sure there must be.
Grazie!

Have you even bothered to get a quote from DHL? If you want an Italian company, someone's already mentioned Poste Italiane. Another is BRT, they're Milanese.
I've worked with Italian businesses who've had to ship bulky items infrequently to me (UK). They use DHL, because no Italian courier would beat their price.
I'm adding some fluff here, because apparently you're only reading the first 70% of a post.
