    Too big for UPS/FEDEX/USPS.
    Too big for international shipping I guess? Tone shipped my Luverne bars through one of those carriers, but of course that was just from TX to VA.

    too big for Int'l USPS, too expensive to use the other two couriers. I finally got the pricing calc page to work, came up higher than UPS/FEDEX.
    I haven't given up yet PK!!

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    Found a site that ebay suggested called "uship.com". You put a listing for what you need shipped, then shippers bid on it. So I did that last night, got one bid so far for $399 USD for door to door delivery...with delivery 2/16....yes 2/16...now how the heck is that possible? It takes almost that long to fly there!

    OK, assuming they fudged a bit on delivery date, does $400 sound average for a 30 lb box 55" long? Anybody have any point of reference?

    UPS & FedEx were between $490 - $540.

    Now I'm trying to find something that's not "door to door", but rather airport to airport/terminal.

    ...the quest continues....
