[QUOTE="Gatoblanconz, post: 9553984, member: 14927"]I don't know whether or not they have a deal running with the local ups because they are definitely gouging the local ups is. It is sitting with a UPS store in Pennsylvania who are quoting the 400 to send it by USPS or quoting even more to send it by UPS I just checked DHL and they are the same price as UPS However when I checked with USPS directly they only charge $216 but the issue is that I need to buy the label and have that emailed to the UPS store and then they will only charge me for packaging. In other words I pay for the USPS postage rather than them paying at their inflated price. The problem is that I cannot buy the USPS label because I do not live in the USA and you cannot buy USPS services if you are not US based (I rang USPS). I tried signing up with a USA address after it wouldn't let me with an Australian address but then when I got to the payment thing it didn't like my credit card I think it knows my credit card billing address and then it didn't work with PayPal either because perhaps PayPal knows my billing address I will have a look at this pirate ship one that you are talking about because obviously USPS are quite comprehensive about not allowing non-us-based people to buy labels. The other option is I have a friend who is currently visiting the USA perhaps he can buy the label directly from a usps post office but I was unable to call USPS at this time due to the time difference to confirm if he can do that I don't want to waste as time as he is a very busy guy.[/QUOTE]
