I shipped one similar to this recently via UPS -- the box weighs a little over 41 lbs. and measures 23x23x10". Because it only travelled within California, USA it was about $20 to ship. We looked into shipping one overseas but it was too costly -- the US Postal Service wouldn't take it (too large) and UPS et al would have charged well over $100. If you'd like to try arranging something else feel free to contact me off-list -- I'm happy to give this gear to FreeBSD if we can find a way. Cheers, sr.
