emulatorII-list

Hello all

I just sold my emulator II to someone in the U.K. I am in Texas in the U.S. I'm trying to get 
him a good shipping quote so far I just did a quick quote on fedex and it came out to $430. 
Has anyone else shipped an emulator from this same distance? Would you recommend a 
certain company to use? Thanks
