Large Box for Hold - Problems?

[Ian]

Hi - don't ask me why but I have purchased a plastic shed from Argos - weighs 15kgs - stamped on plain off white cardboard outer but the overall packaging is 4" taller than a big case and 4" deeper than a big case - but it will fit perfectly on my balcony!!!!

Argos gave me the wrong dimensions which were orginally identical to the largest size suitcase. So I didn't anticpate a problem.

1. Will it be ok to go as hold luggage instead of my allowance as I won't have a case when we next fly out with Aegean.

2. Do you think if I put it on a trolley with Gill's case on top of it - anyone will notice and if so would they really want me to pay duty on a plastic shed!

Any comments related to your own experiences welcome

My guess is it would be fine as your hold luggage,
failing that, erect it and wear it:D

Will this be the first time you've had an erection on a flight?

I know some have had electrical goods seized and have had to pay duty - any ideas if they could do the same on a plastic shed?  

Ps: Tinx - today it is grey and gloomy in the NW and Chelsea are in town to get a roughing up (combined with some good football lately) at Bolton.
A real test of character - a draw is my prediction!!!!

Will anyone flight any shed on this?

[Ian]

Excellent - lol

You usually only get a shaft of wit from a Chelsea fan

Two of our neighbours have both brought one of these over, one took it out of the packaging and managed to get it in a suitcase.

Many thanks-  never considered that and it might be possible

Ps About to carefully look inside the box delivered from Argos this morning!
