i'm trying to get a speargun sent to Australia from Hawaii. It's 63"
long and USPS don't send anything longer than 48". FedEx and UPS are
quoting me around $200 US to send it (it's worth $170). I would love
to be able to send it by sea freight but all I can find is around $400
US for a cubic meter. I've looked everywhere! I just want someplace
that can transport my speargun from Hawaii to Australia over a few
weeks on a boat and not charge me much for it.

Hi sporn.

How much does your speargun weigh?

thanks,

Assuming a package 5-inches in height, 5-inches in width and 68-inches
in length weighing 5lbs from Honolulu-Sydney, DHS seems to quote a
price of $130.63.  Probably more than you're looking for, since it's
very close to the price of the speargun, but it's the best I could
find.

Sorry!

Also, that rate was found at http://www.dhs-usa.com (Which appears to
be different than their corporate site at http://www.dhs.com).

The speargun weighs 7lbs

Have you tried regular parcel post ?

Also be sure to check the Customs regulations on importing weapons into Australia.
