Oyuki kigan 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I am having a bit of a dilemma, i want to ship a board back to canada, but neither Kuroneko nor the Post Office accepts packages over 150 cm (the board is 154). I checked for other threads related to this, but came up with nothing useful. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is UPS any good? Link to post Share on other sites
Domokun_72dpi 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Mate, I just experienced the same., I bought a board from over East, same deal, just too long, so I hate to have it put on a Freight carrier byt Road. Unfortunately, for you, i think other than getting a friend to take it for you, it's gonna cost a fortune. Why not send it to Hakuba C/O Fattwins, with a big red ribbon around it with a note saying: Here Domokun_72dpi, enjoy! best wishes in finding a good postal source mate, that is a bugger of a situation. Perhaps you can cut 5 cms off? =( Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 UPS is great, I've had no problems with them Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 How much did it cost for you, CB? And can they come and het it? I checked the website, and the closest outlets are in Tokyo. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 i think takkyubin may deal with ups. I know it costs 60 to 80$ us from the states to here with ups, but not sure how much for the other way round. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Let me know what you find Oyuki kigan. I'm in the same boat. I need to ship a board from Japan to OZ. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Domokun_72dpi 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Man, UPS is a complete rip off. They were going to charge my mate 190usd to ship pants, goggles & gloves. Go figure?.. =( Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I had my pontoons shipped for about 130 maybe? I had other boxes shipped UPS for about $30 - $50 bucks and same stuff as Domokun. Dont know why his friend is getting ripped off..? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Is that only for overseas that Kuroneko won't ship over 150cms? Because I used them to deliver my board from Yokohama to my new house, no probs. (I was just moving within Japan tho) Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 domokun just send it from the post office. Oyuki, I just got back from the post office here and the guy told me that the max size for a package is 3metres. length + widgth + depth. a snowboard should be fine Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Are you sure that isn't for domestic? 'Causr they told me a meter and a half here. If you are sure, i will go to the larger postal outlet in Komoro and check there. Link to post Share on other sites
