Shipping a wurlie overseas

[Abraham]

I just bought a 200-A but seller refused shipping outside the US. Then we shipped to florida where my cousin lives so he can do this for me. But I've never shipped something that big and I'm facing some trouble.

First of all I need to know wheight and size of a packaged wurlitzer including legs and pedal, If anyone could be so kind to answer

Also I need to know a cheap carrier for international, I was planning USPS but it seems package will exceed size and wheight for domestic service

I know DHL/UPS/FEDEX would be a problem with customs clearance so I wanted to go with USPS

Please any thoughts or recommendations on this subject?

thanx in advance!

Why DHL/UPS/FEDEX would be a problem with customs clearance?

I think too, that the package would be too big for USPS. What you can try is ipsparcel.com

wow! ipsparcel.com is WAY cheaper, thank you!

Private carriers make proffit from customs clearance, so it makes more difficult to avoid taxes, besides they will charge for a service which is free to do on your own otherwise: Public services inspects packages randomly and you solve customs clearance by phone or e-mail, private inspects them all and they always charge for customs clearance

Also, customs in Spain are a STEAL. And I couldn't see why I have to pay VAT from an used item where original customer already did when purchased
