How can I ship a tuba overseas?

[Porky]

Don't.

Check with Lee Stofer, Bloke or Mack Brass guy.

We can do it. Usually it's in the range of $1000 plus any customs fees. DHL or similar.

I built a substantial wooden crate and used it to ship a Conn 'Jumbo' some time back. FEDEX Air was about $600 if I recall correctly.

Strange how it's so expensive to send something OUT of the states, yet one can get a tuba shipped from Ukraine or elsewhere in Europe for $120.00 via USPS and have it arrive in 10 days or less.

Twice I've received a sousaphone out of the states and did not pay more than $300. I received it via DB Schenker.

It depends on what horn and where. I have tried twice to send a sousaphone to Australia. It was about $1500 plus the shipping container. Smaller horns and more traveled locations (ie. more flights per day) may be less expensive. Importation fees were another issue. Can you ship over seas, yes. The $1000 estimate is close to the truth. Forget shipping via boat.
