I've never bid on one of these auction sites, especially from something in the UK. Can someone explain the shipping process for me please?
Also mentions this: Pack & Send -

Do you offer a shipping service?
We offer a packing service and shipping service. Where this is not cost effective you are welcome to arrange your own collection by courier. Packing fees are chargeable dependent on the size/quantity of items. Please contact us for further details or send a shipping request after the auction.

You would use a forwarding service like the one you mentioned. Lots in the UK, do a Google search for UK parcel forwarding

cheers for the info. I already have the american HoME. Think having both is too much? I do really like the stylistic differences and the cohesive numbering on the spine. The american version has problems in that regard, at least with the first 3 or 4 volumes, + the middle volumes having different colors/covers. I also really appreciate how the UK version has an index now.

"We offer a packing service and postage by Royal Mail, Parcelforce or other courier but we cannot prepare a quote for this until the invoice for your items has been paid."
So they are offering a packing and postage service. You don't need a reshipping service.
I might bid on the lot, as I need one or two books out of it. I have asked for a full report on this.
