Ok, sold a F/F to a fellow vintage collector in Australia. Trying to ship as cost effective as I can. Packed up the F/F and sent the wife to the post office. Seems Australia has a max box circumference of 79" in any direction. ( think...down the front, across the side, back down the other way and finally the last side ). So my bike box was in the 80's. Good for most all other countries, except Australia! So measuring the frame, its 35.5 inches long. So if the box was that exact size ( and who would want that) Im at 70 inches. That leaves me 4.5 inches for the width. The frame is 5 inches in the stays!
So, I can do UPS AIR thru my job for 102.00 but the buyer is used to USPS.( USPS wants 79.00) Has anyone done USPS? ANy tips or tricks? Thanks, Shawn
