Can anyone tell me if i can ship a 68" longbow to Australia USPS
I don't think so, but it would pay to go and ask them. This is off their website on dimensions.
DIMENSION NOTE:
Maximum Size: Total length and girth not to exceed 108 inches.
Individual dimensions not to exceed:
Length - 46 Inches
Width - 35 Inches
Height - 46 Inches
A friend shipped a 66" longbow over their using UPS and it cost about $100.
some how i saw a line that said max length 36" and max girth 79" for the express mail must be a typo on their part
I've priced a 64 inch 3" PVC tube with small longbow to Australia. Cost was right at $48 .
Don't know if 68 would go,or not. Reading the USPS web site is a little confusing.
This was priority mail.

Nope they have max length restrictions for USPS to out of country.

from what i could tell online, FEDEX and UPS were over $250
USPS won't ship overseas anything over 60" long.I shipped a 70" Hill to France 5 years ago and it was $122.15 back then through UPS.Shipped a T/D bow to Austria 4 years ago,it was $44 USPS Priority mail.Shipping longbows overseas can get real expensive.I priced shipping a Martin ML14 longbow to Australia a few years ago,it was more then I was selling the bow for,around $175 back then.
I bought a 62" one piece longbow at Cari-bow Canada. The package was even longer. I payed US $ 100,- for the shipping.
I've had bows shipped to Australia via UPS cost about $200 for something that size, the regular mail service wont take it.
My info from my PO was wrong. The problem isn't with the USPS it is once it reaches Australia. Their mail system is limited to 42 inches.
To ship with UPS would be $215.
This was for a kid and he is going to be very disappointed.
