yeah so i have read other threads and i seems as though people have used a mix of USPS, direct account holders of UPS/FexEx etc and freight forwarders (Bongo, Shipito, MyUs).
Because the box can’t get down to 79" (AU limit on Standard parcel post from US), it has to go “Global Express Guaranteed GXG” and been quoted $340 from USPS.
anyone got some recent experience that might help, or be able to suggest/ help out?

[li]phone a friend who’s flying over soon and get them to pay the excess baggage fee. [/li][li]email your buddy who’s large company has an account with fedex etc and access to discounted rates [/li][li]suck it up and pay it. [/li][/ul]
like you’ve said, we’ve been over this before, recently even, it doesn’t really warrant another thread.
Bummer, I flew in the same day this was posted. For future reference I have some family visiting the states and going back to Melbourne sometime in November.
