Pm Me. I’ve got someone headed back to the Uk in one week and she can probably ship from UK to EU cheaply, especially if it’s for a consolation prize….

Link me to the two black and grey products so I can buy them today to make this work

USPS for you guys south of us, and Canada Post are expensive. $40 to Australia is really cheap!

When I was going to send an item to our friend in Serbia, to ship it with tracked post for $90 for a gearshift knob! I was returning to the old country so shipped it from the UK tracked for around 10 pounds (about $17 CDN).

This is tentatively going to Austria, not Australia.
I'll PM info, and you can take it from there with your " personal carrier ".

Thanks !

Just a side note; I was going to premix some up and put it in an eye dropper bottle for shipping, since I used less than 1 oz to do both bumpers. With two 12oz bottles, he'll be able to furnish all of our European members

Oops, I must have read that too quickly. I do know they are two different countries. I don't think I've sent anything to Austria.

I'm in Austria, though. Sounds similiar, but we have no crocs and kangaroos.

Well Clemens, I stopped by a FedEx store today to ask about shipping to Austria.
They asked where exactly, and I just said the middle of the country. Cost to ship the smallest ( apx.7mmx7mmx12mm ) , less than 1 pound package, was $ 140 !!!
Outrageous !!!

Last time I shipped to Australia it was about $40, I think. That was through the USPS.

Sveedy, that is very kind of you.
Also, thank you for the offer, Steve!
I just talked to a buddy of mine who will be in the states in September, once he has a hotel confirmation it might be the easiest to send it to him.
He will gladly smuggle it home in his suitcase.

No problem

I wish the process was easier. Seems like it should be in the 21st century.
Remember that you should seal this stuff. I don't know how well it would last on its own. I look at it as strictly a dye.
