Ouch!

Not being familiar with overseas shipping, I'd suspect shipping to be more. ...not that much more though.

Be careful what you volunteer to do folks. I once shipped a scope to Canada and it cost me dang near as much to ship as the scope was worth. Like it or not shipping a single item like this overseas is EXPENSIVE and there is no way around it. And if you don't do it right and fill out all the proper customs forms it bounces back like a rubber ball and you get to do it over again. Yeah that's the voice of experience speaking, it came back to me and had to be done all over again. VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.

thanks for the kind offer guys,as far as i can tell they ship with globel express
not the us postal service like tracks and the outher peaple i have dealt with. i will just stick to those companys.and i got the shiping wrong for the last shipment from tracks just did a check it was $6.50 not $10.50 so as can be seen that is a more realistic shiping fee.track of the wolfe are a good company to deal with top service great bunch of people.
