Hi Rob,
you're welcome!
In with region of the States you are. A friend of mine works at Lufthansa Cargo
and I would be able to ship the box for $0.30 per Kilo (I believe that's close
to two Pounds). If you are colse to an international airport, than the fright
cost are only a couple of bucks.
If we get more people together, we can get a discount of cause.
Let me know,
best regards,
Jochen
Oh, I forgot, no financial interests of cause...
