Hi Rod,

Australia would be price Group 12 or Group 6 when used with the Flat Rate Boxes. I use a flat rate box in the United States, but internationally they limit it to 20 pounds so that would not work for the ABW, the unit I have ready to go weighs 23.2 #, so it will probably weigh 24 pounds when it is all packaged and ready for shipping.

If I shipped it out in a 24 pound package the shipping would be $289.08 for price group 12.

If I shipped it out in a Medium Flat Rate Box it would be Price Group 6 and the box would cost $112.70 to ship out, but the weight is limited to 20 pounds. If I shipped the 10# ABW and the 12# ABW in two medium flat rate boxes the cost would be $112.70 for each box or $225.40 for the two boxes. I attached screen shots of what researched so you can see how I came up with these numbers using USPS.

Since my price of $600 already includes shipping in the United States I would need an additional $200 to cover shipping two Medium Flat Rate Boxes.

I could also check the shipping rate using UPS and FedEx on the Shippo site, but they want your name and address before I can go further.

I put in an address in your zip code ( ALDINGA BEACH, SA, 5173) to get an estimate of shipping and I can ship it FedEX Economy for $120.00

Just add an additional $100 for shipping.

I have no idea what the customs charges would be on your end for a 24 lb aircraft part with a declared value of $600.

Hi Rod, I just saw this notice a few minutes ago.

Yes $700 USD would be good.

Do you use Venmo and Zelle in Australia? I could also take a credit card or PayPal

I am at [email protected] if you wish to use email.

Hi Rod,

I hope you had a nice flight. I was going to fly today but the wind was picking up, so I canceled my plans.

I found out that Venmo and Zelle are not used to send money internationally.

The only way I know of to send the funds in USD from Australia to United States would be by using an international money transfer.
The following information is all that you will need.

The Swift Code is WFBIUS6S

Bank Address is:
Wells Fargo Bank, NA
333 Market Street
San Francisco, CA 94105

My Name on the account is: Jeffrey Havelin

My account Number: 1503383737

Rod I looked up the phone number for the Aldinga Aero Maintenance and put that number down, but if you want a cell instead just give me the
best phone number to use and an email address will probably give you tracking and customs information on the order. I added $500 insurance and I declared the value for Customs at $499.

I think the customs HTS code I used for civil aircraft parts is duty free.
