mazspazz 0 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi, I'm just wondering if anybody knows of a cheap(ish) way to ship 2 board bags from Tokyo to Victoria, Canada? The quotes I've been receiving are up in the 60,000 yen mark which is way to much considering the boards are 2 seasons old. I shipped them in one bag from Canada to Australia last year and it cost under CA$200 so I can't unerstand the huge jump...maybe just Tokyo prices Link to post Share on other sites

Kumapix 0 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 have u tried the post office? It costs about $100 from the states to here, so it shouldn't be too different Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 yeah good call kuma. I can't imagine the post office charging 600 bucks... Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 best is to take the board bag with you! Link to post Share on other sites
AK 77 0 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 seing as boards are cheaper in Canada anyway, why not sell them in Japan and a new board in Canada? Post Office is usually cheapest way to ship, though. Link to post Share on other sites
mazspazz 0 Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Yeah, I think selling is the way to go... The limits on parcel postage are less than the length of the board bag and we're going via Europe so don't really want to lug them with us... Thanks for the help tho...

SirJibAlot 0 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I was looking for that! Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 doesn't the post office have a size limit of 1m? You could also check with the airline to see if you can pre send stuff as excess baggage. Link to post Share on other sites
Experiment IV 0 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Yes if you are flying check with the airline, it might be the best way. I found the post office to get really (relatively) expensive when it started getting heavy and big. Link to post Share on other sites

bettyx 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 even better, anyone know how i can send a board to the UK? my luggage is way over limit already. OR.. anyone know how i can send a board from heathrow to a london address? any help would be wonderful, thank you! Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Kuroneko.... Link to post Share on other sites
bettyx 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 thanks, i'll check it out. i didn't know kuroneko sent internationally though?! this is going to cost me a fortune, isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I've never tried it, but I know that Kuroneko (and pelican) have offices in LA and Singapore (i've seen the trucks), so I have to imagine they do some international shipping. Don't expect it to be cheap like domestic shipping though.... Link to post Share on other sites
bettyx 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 thank you! ok, now for a different question.. anyone know how i can get a board from heathrow to inner london without carrying it on public transport? is there a courier service over there? Link to post Share on other sites
