I would assume that the best way would be an insured "FRAGILE non-stackable" freight delivery. Everything bubble wrapped, surrounded in styrofoam packing peanuts, boxed and bundle attached to one another on the skid. I'm sure there are other cheaper ways to get the parts there, but thats a long way for something to go to take chances. Delivery men are'nt always the nicest of people when it comes to taking care of other peoples belongings.

Don't use a courier...they will ding you (or buyer) with MASSIVE brokerage fees!!!! Stick with postal service...and under value it!!! BIG TIME!!! I think under $50 will be under the wire!!

I would strongly suggest you use USPS Air service. Also, this usually bypasses customs in my experience. This will also keep the buyer happy!

Ship USPS, mark as a gift and most important:

SHIP IT IN 2 OR 3 SMALLER BOXES RATHER THAN 1 HUGE ONE!

If you go over a certain volume for international shipping you get RAPED!

Plus USPS has limits on size...I could not send an upper using Canada Post...the box was too big!! Had to use FedEx. So ya, divide and send. (unfortunately, hard to divide a upper.
