Olszewski Castle shipping experience?

[Kristina]

Hi, I would like to purchase the Olszewski Cinderella Castle and am wondering if anyone has done this or had shipped any of the other park miniatures and if so, did it come all in one piece? The castle looks particularly fragile but I want it, and if I buy it when I am there on vacation it would still be difficult to get home.

Thanks for any advice !

The pieces themselves are VERY well packaged in styrofoam and I have not yet had any problems.

I did purchase my Castle piece by WDW Mail Order and it came in even more styrofoam pieces. They are large pieces, so keep that in mind.

We wanted to buy this on our last trip (2007) but it was too big to put in a suitcase and shipping to the UK was $150 then there would have been customs charges.

We decided against it but sometimes I wish I had been a bit more reckless with my credit card. Maybe this time I will be!

Thank you both for replying . I really want this and although I will be visiting soon I realise too that it won't fit in the suitcase. I have a lot of beloved cheaper souvenirs but nothing like this and it's such a great piece. I think I'm going to go ahead and order it!
