You can still get the original shipping crates from B&O. My second hand Avant RF came from a dealer, and they ordered the original packaging for me. When I say crate, I mean crate. You get a half pallet, a ton of polystyrene packaging, and a couple of trees worth of cardboard. Well worth it if if you might be thinking about using a courier. I considered renting a van like Andy, but once I'd factored in the rental fee, my time, and Diesel from Leeds to Cambridge and back, £100 all in for the crate and courier seemed a better deal.
