I know this is a little off topic, but I need to send a Marquee video switcher to Moome in Taiwan. The prices have been outrageous searching with UPS and FedEx I've even tried to take apart the switcher to make it more compressed with no luck saving on the costs with the new USPS low rate boxes. Any ideas on what others have used in the past for international shipping. The box might be 15 pounds, and has parts around 17" long, but only 6" tall.

50 bucks isnt too bad IMO

EDIT::: Just realized the box is too small for the flat rate, but still 90 bucks is less than what UPS and FED EX want.

USPS is the only way to go for overseas shipments. Canada Post's price is twice what USPS is.

I was afraid of that. I really wanted to make this fit in the USPS large flat rate box, but i guess $90 is the cheapest i can get.

What about this ? Would it fit because you've disassembled it ?

I wonder if they have the flat rate shipping for that box? I think this would fit everything other than the top and bottom parts of the case, but it might not be big enough to hold all of the guts of the switcher.

They list it as a flat rate tube, suitable for international, but I don't see it in the online prices anywhere....
