I want to buy a manual of a 286 pc,
https://www.antikvarium.hu/konyv/977298-0

Shipping to Italy is 16€, too much for my taste.

From Hungary to Italy, how much would it be to ship it?
I'm thinking to have it shipped to someone in Hungary and reshipped to me.

It's starting to get costly and I don't think it's interesting anymore.

Any help is appreciated.

Doesn't make sense because you're paying shipping twice.

International shipping is 16€, signed for and insured.

Without insurance and no signature maybe it can cost around €5, as it can be shipped intenally for just a few euros by that seller (pick-up points).

2-3€ to pick-up + 5€ for a regular int'l.

If I can half it, it makes sense to me.

Otherwise no deal, and not the end of the world.

You can calculate here how much shipping to Italy would cost:

If it's under 500 grams, then it's 4,965 HUF, approximately 12.6 EUR. Unfortunately, the Hungarian Post is one of the most expensive in the world.

It gives me 2585 HUF free of everyhting; with priority 2800.

If you can help me do this I'd be happy.

See pic for their shipping options.

This is not critical, it's just that it would be niceto have it.
Not a sought after manual, no haste is required.

Yes, if you don't request it as a registered shipment, then it truly is that much. But knowing the Hungarian post, I don't recommend this option.
Of course, I'll help in any way I can.
Although at the moment, it seems there are no purchasable copies of the mentioned book in stock, only pre-orderable.

I just canceled the order, they have to restock it.

In light of what you said, maybe I'll skip the purchase as the parcel can get lost.
IDK, I'll think about it and let you know.

Thanks a lot for the infos!!
