[Amps] Shipping Costs

[Joe]

And if you are shipping overseas, unless you have more money than you 
know what to do with the post office is the best way to go.

Where one of my clock boxes I can ship via UPS, DHL, Fed-EX, will cost 
close to 300 bucks to do,  shipping it via the USPS, on the average 50 
to 60 bucks.
