Does anybody now a way to ship US->Germany for a reasonable price? I'm thinking actually _ship_. Because normal airmail is filthy expensive especially for heavy things like keyboards.

I just did DHL again....$115. I'm not making a mistake. USA to Germany, 2 pounds.

I'll try USPS, but they have always seemed to be crazy high.

USPS is around $20 for 1kg, send standard first class, not priority. Online they don't always offer it, you need to take it to the post office.

Really? Not online? What a load!

Thanks for that. the package is less than 10" in every dimension and maybe 2 pounds. I've shipped similar, and it was maybe $30 last summer. I have been flabbergasted by the rates I've come up with online. This is NOT express either.

I swing by P.O. tomorrow to check out!

Yeah, just tell them you want to send it the cheapest possible. I still miss sea economy, those were the days even if it did take 2 months.

You still can get that, you just need to send enough to go via container

USPS flat rate priority mail "game box" is $58 to anywhere in the world.

You cannot pick up the empty boxes at the post office, but they will deliver them to your doorstep free of charge.

Not as cheap as you might prefer, but a "sure thing" so you will not have to pay more.

PS - the same box is only $15 anywhere domestic and they are pretty fast (<72 hours to Alaska but >4 days to California from Georgia).
