Subject: Re: [motm] Shipping Costs of MOTM-19A Rails

I just checked the shipping costs to Europe of 9 pairs of MOTM-19A mounting
rails.
The online shop says, the cheapest option is
Airmail Parcel Post (4 - 10 days) $112.75
I know that metal is heavy, but are there any other options?<<

A few years ago I bought 6 heavy 100 meter spools of Gotham audio cable from
Switzerland. It cost about $100 through the regular mail system. Weight
was close to 60 pounds. Would have been several hundred dollars through UPS
or Fedex. I don't know if Airmail Parcel Post is the regular post office,
but it seems like 9 pairs of rails would weigh a lot less than what I
bought, so I don't understand that high shipping cost. You can go online
and find post office shipping rates. That's what I did back then.
