    The problem is posting to and from the states is that it has to go via air, also the calculations for the weight is worked out on the greater of either actual weight or volumetric weight, the volumetric weight (which is the length X width X height then divide that by the carriers amount (usually 5/6000) that will give the volumetric weight) which in both cases sounds like it will probably be alot more than the actual item.

    Basically, stick it in a box as small as you can :)

    I'd give FedEx, UPS and DHL a go for prices :)
