Im trying to sell some sticks to a AUS member. All the quotes through UPS/FEDEX seem to be $300+!! There's gotta be a cheaper way? Input or advice?

Whenever i've had skis sent to Australia they use DHL. They usually charge around $100.

USPS offers international shipping...but, yes, the package must originate in the United States.

yes and no, if you ship out from usps to canada, it transfers accross the border to canada post.

I'm guessing if you ship usps to aus then after it crosses customs it's handed to whatever australian national post is to deliver.
