Another shipping question

[gunner007]

Has anyone shipped to the US lately. Its kind of pin related. I have a 200lb 4x2x1 item I need shipped to the us that I sold to fund a pin purchase. Kingston to boston mas. I did the online fedex quote. $1700 yikes.

Well that fell through quickly, found a shipper for $300, but the duty and taxes were more than the value of the item??? wow.

Duties and taxes aren't your problem. They're the importer's problem.

No it was an ebay purchase and the duty taxes and fees are mine and they are over 3000$
