Shipping from the states

You need to put some accurate info (I was just winging it to get a rough idea) into the USPS International calculator in my link above rather than just speculating...

And thanks to bulls and stevo for the input
Sure, I've shipped 10 or so frames overseas in the past couple of years, so I don't mind helping the guy if he needs advice. However, I think Raging Bulls covered all the important bits already. :) You can use the calculator that Stevo provided as long as you have the box dimensions and approximate weight (figure about 12 pounds or more). Oh, and tell the shipper to print the postage online. It'll save about 5% off the shipping price vs. paying at the post office.
 
Use http://www.myus.com or http://www.shipito.com.
For larger things like frames and completes they are usually cheaper (sometimes waaaay cheaper) than USPS. And cos they use Fedex, DHL, UPS etc you get the thing in less than a week. I've used both and highly recommend them.

US folks love it, too, cos they don't have to fill out customs forms or any of that stuff. They just send it to a US address and you fill out the customs declaration online.
