Does this include taking the bus for an all day ticket £3.70? I’ve travelled 2 ½ miles to buy my groovy funky spunky plastic x12 JBL control 1.
I took a plane from Sandefjord in Norway to Copenhagen in Denmark to buy my pair of 4430. That is an hour and 15 minutes flight + taxi to the sellers home.
I took my wife and doughter on the trip, and stayed the weekend in Copenhagen. Wise as I am, I let my wife go shopping while I went alone to take a look at the speakers.
And going back home, the woman at the check in desk asked "how many bags do you want to send" ?
"Only two" I said, and pointed happily at the speakers
I also picked up my son from boarding school, but I normally just have him fly back or take the train, so I think this still counts.
I had a pair of 4315's delivered to my door in Orange County from Denver, Colorado. A seller in Las Vegas brought a 2405 tweeter to me in Anaheim (he was a bus driver and drove a HS basketball team down here for a tournament).
I drove a 200 mile roundtrip to La Habra to Escondido, California for a studio set of 4435's, 4331's, and 4x 4406's. Went to San Diego for S99's and KEF Calinda's, Redlands for 4312D's, Riverside for Altec A8's, Brea (4 miles) for Altec 601's/620 cabinet, and San Fernando Valley/LA for 4425's and 4312's. My L300's were 6 mile roundtrips, 4333B's were 20 mile roundtrips.
Being in Southern California, LA/Orange County, there's a lot of JBL and other gear within 100 miles. But there's a lot more out there beyond this radius too.

True enough! And to pick up some stuff in Copenhagen is not the worst thing one can do.
We had a night at a nice hotel, we enjoyed Tivoli, Strøget and lunch/dinner in Nyhavn. A bonus for picking up the speakers.
