Hey,
I'm having trouble finding a way of getting a board from the US (Missouri) to Perth that doesn't cost the earth.
Yep, it a large object but shouldn't be more than $50 should it?
Any tips?

Cheers

I would be amazed if it was less than $50, Pack and send are usually pretty competitive but even Perth to Melbourne is around $40.

I have been doing logistics for 20 yrs. I couldn't ship it from Sydney to Perth for $50. $400 might be closer from some strange US state ..

Arrange a package of contraband to be sent along with it, and it will pay for itself, and then some.

He's right. The 1st couple of quotes were around the $300 mark!!

Red thumbs? Really?
I've tried everywhere to get a hold of this superseded board and ebay has been the only option.
Would buy one locally if I could. If that offends you - thumb away
