Shipping from USA to Australia info needed

Sign in to disble this ad
I just wanted to see if anyone ever shipped a cabinet or amplifier from the US (California) to Australia (Queensland). The packaged weight I have is 55lbs (25kg) and size is approx. 21" x 21" x 21" (530mm x 530mm x 530mm). Value is $300 USD.

The online calculator quotes I received was $440 USD from the US Post Office & $475 from Fedex. I've shipped basses and smaller items before but this seems high.

Does this sound right?

You need to watch the length plus girth figure which will bump you up to a more expensive category. I forget the exact dimension but at 21" cubed you are definitely over. Given the weight I would expect somewhere in the $4-500 dollar range. That's why I only ship items that fit in flat rate international boxes.

Maybe it's because I'm east coast, but the USPS estimate I got was $542.
