Looks like I'm close to a deal in selling this but am in the dark as to the best way to ship it to the States. I'll make a little crate for it but does anyone have an idea of a postal company to use and roughly an idea of costs?

I sent a deck to the skates recently.
Wrapped it in loads of bubble wrap, and I mean a lot! Then wrapped all the way round tightly with parcel tape to compress it.
Arrived with no problems.

I use wedelivertheworld.com for shipping.

I used mailboxes for sending art to the states. they did everything for me: picking up the pieces at my place, packaging, customs stuff etc. as far as I know they use fedex, so it's also very fast. not cheap, though...

Gonna need to use someone reputable as it's not a cheap deck.

I've also just sent a big canvas to the USA and that was with FedEx but booked through wedelivertheworld.
Wedelivertheworld is just a middleman, you choose the company you wish to use. I always go with FedEx or UPS.
Just wrap it up really well and insure it for the correct value.

The deck I sent was valued at £500.
If your deck is way beyond that then go for flight logistics. They will package it up properly, but it will cost you.

Already crated. Just need to choose shipping. The one you recommend Aza is cheaper by far. I've left it with the buyer as it is an expensive deck.
