Has anyone ever shipped a bow overseas?I have a guy wanting my E-500 and am not sure about the deal.

Take it to a UPS office and see what they say, I thing they can do it and you can tell him a shipping price prior to closing the deal.

Well about 2 weeks ago a gentleman from Austraila sent me a PM wanting the General that I had for sale stating he would Pay Shipping to Austraila. I packaged the bow up in its original box and brought it to my local UPS Store to get a price,Well they told me roughly $350.00!! Wow! Well with that price I now Proceeded to my Local Post Office who told me $178.00 and handed me some forms and also Needed Copies of all Reciepts to Prove Value of Bow Being Shipped. That was enough for me... Best of luck! ;)

I have already checked on price and it was right at 80.00 including insurance and tracking.That is bad enough but 350.00?WOW

Don't know what your local UPS store was smoking but it shouldn't have been no $350.00. Maybe if you were shipping overnight but even that is too much. We ship overseas and it usually costs around $80.00 per bow. Shipping through USPS should be about the same if you include insurance.

Can you break it down and ship in a smaller box? Less chance of damage that way!
