Hi Steve
Shipping a Metroliner would be a parcel between 2 and 3kg. There are three
ways to ship this to the US:
Seaway US$23, allow 30 days for delivery
Airmail Economy US$25, allow 2 weeks for delivery
Airmail Premium US$38, allow 1-2 weeks for delivery
I haven´t cashed in a foreign check or international moneyorder, but if I´m
not mistaken our banks charge US$5-10 for it.
Unfortunately shipping is quite expansive form here. But you should be able to
save some money if you take Economy class mail. Good luck & happy playing with
your Metroliner,
