UPS would be cheaper. USPS will charge you a arm and a leg just to ship. i dont know how much Fed Ex will charge..

I've been using Fed Ex. They have been quite abit cheaper than what UPS has quoted me.

Shipnex destroyed a boat for me....Im pretty sure USPS will work long as you dont over do the box....Hopper has sent tunnels all over the world

I just shipped a Sport 40 hull to Brisbane,Aus through USPS for $95.60. It arrived in excellent condition. UPS quoted me a ridiculous price for the same trip.

I ship 40 boats to Australia thru USPS and the price is about 70.00, UPS is about three times that

USPS had a size limit, found out the hard way shipping a 40" Tunnel to Aussie. USPS would not ship it because it was over there size limit and UPS wanted $600+. Check the size limit, don't remember, but UPS is gonna get deep in the pocket.

USPS limit in Australia is 48 in

Pack the boat up how you would feel comfortable shipping it, measure it, weigh it on your bathroom scale, go onto the UPS, FedEX, and USPS websites, type in the info and see what they say...

Usually when I ship anything, especially out of the country USPS is significantly cheaper.

USPS will always be way cheaper than UPS or FedEx, but always pay the few dollars more for the extra insurance.

USPS uses several measurements. Took a boat 45 inches there and they did not accept it. Total girth I think 108.

I have no experience with this company, but there are some good reports on Jim's Dock about it.

Prices are reportedly very reasonable.
