I'm trying to sell my ESP Horizon and am getting a lot of people overseas interested in buying it. Problem is that I can't ship USPS Priority because of dimension restrictions, and UPS or FedEx charge hundreds of dollars for their service.

Anyone know of other options?

Thanks!

How big is box the guitar is packed in? I just shipped a Flying V guitar to Germany and the box was huge. Just made the dimensions. I can't see a Horizon being in a bigger box.

Maybe I need to remeasure. Do you know offhand what the dimensions are?
 
USPS cheapest fastest. If its a bolt on you can take it apart and box it up smaller or you may have to send it in the case with no box. Ive done 2 just in case recently with no problems. Loosen strings wrap guitar in plastic but some "good stuf" liquid foam from home depot. Get a bag and put over the already plastic wrapped neck and fill new bag up with foam then lay it in case. Do the same with body and neck joint. Buy xtra large zip ties and wrap around case. The foam dries and protects the guitar and doesnt mess up the case. Thats my method. It should be $119
