Need help with shipping a lathe in USA

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Hello trolls!

I just won an auction on ebay for a lathe but the problem is that the seller can no ship it himself, i need to arrange the shipping myself.
Here is the link of the auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Presto-Recording-Lathe-16-034-Transcription-Turntable-MRC16-Broadcast-Wood-Case-/162874656463?nma=true&si=Pxdl1g%252F7Lwxvdlq7nqnDsPt5XGA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Please give me some advices for USA shipping company, i need to bring it to UK.
I bought it with ebay global shipping program, which means i need to arrange shipping from seller's address to the ebay distribution center in Kentucky and then the global shipping program will bring it to UK.

Any help will be highly appreciated!

That guy will only ship via freight. Try uShip.com. He already has it palletized.

Contact someone like Europa Shipping in the UK and then sit back and wait for the delivery. Easy.
