Sure. I am traveling this week for business and will not be home until this weekend. Give me your exact address and I will look into shipping. Do you have any recommendation on carriers? UPS, U.S. Mail ?
Best,

I would recommend UPS or USPS. But it's all pretty much the same. If you get a quote and it's reasonable to air-freight it over I can paypal you the money whenever you tell me to.

Louis,
As promised I have checked into mailing the seat and I was quite surprised at the costs I am being quoted for the least expensive shipping for either USPS or UPS.
The seat is 36 inches long (top back of seat to the most prominent point on the front of the east) , 24 inches high and about 11 inches high and weighs 18 pounds. Given the large box size being needed for "economy " shipping this Monday the cost would be close to $1000. I have run the shipping calculator a couple of times and believe that the size of the item is what is most problematic.
I have not shipped internationally before so I may very well not be aware of the variables and means for shaving costs. If you would like to calculate the shipping from your end to be sure I am doing it correctly I can provide you with the following info.

Yes last seat I shipped to New Zealand ran about 200USD, more than the seat and it wasn't a big king queen. When the ground shipping option ended several years ago shipping anything large out of country pretty much went away.

I appreciate the help guys. I shipped an entire suitcase back from the states for around 100USD in 2009, but I sent it via container ship through USPS.
Do you have any idea how certain ebay sellers seem to be able to send KQ seats for around 60-100 USD? Do they maybe have corporate shipping accounts or agreements with shipping companies or something?
