    Hello everyone. Im trying to ship a playfield over to England. I packed it all up good and it only weighs 30 pounds. But is now too big to ship USPS. UPS is $650 and Fed ex is $350. The Playfield only cost $350. Hoping to get it shipped for around $150 ish. Any ideas?

    You can probably send it thru the Post office for around $100 if you cut down on the excessive packing (Size). I ship Mirror Boxes Overseas all the time for under $100 but they only weigh about 20 pounds. You also have to lie on the customs form as to the value otherwise the person on the other end will get hit with a large customs tax fee.

    tell them to get an account with a big forwarder like www.shipito.com and send it there might help but thats essentially what it costs.
