Couldn't the seller just mail it?

Am I missing something?

The seller (not a Dealer) was reluctant to post the sword ("too much trouble"), and to be honest I have had some heart stopping moments with poorly packaged swords sent by people who didn't know what they were doing.

A 600 km drive isn't a huge ordeal in Australia, no overnight stay required. It was a great opportunity for a pleasant country drive, stopping at antique stores and farmgate stalls along the way (and of course a pub for lunch).
