| MCB Member  Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Collinsville, Illinois  | shipping hpa tanks internationally? Hey gang, Can you ship HPA tanks internationally? Does anyone here have experience doing so? I'm wondering what's involved with getting that done. USPS web site gives some pretty vague answers. Also, USPS appears to be the cheapest..any advice on lowering the price, or even packing advice for shipping overseas? I have very little shipping experience to begin with, so any opinion on what I am getting myself into would be great. Thanks, Delamorte

| MCB Member  Join Date: Jan 2007 | I had a Raptor rex shipped to me a couple years ago, no problems... except for the face that it had no TC. It was from the US to Canada. but it didn't get stopped at the border... no extra charge either. It was labeled correctly when shipped and it was empty. hope that helps |

You may want to go with UPS/DHL/Fed Ex, as they have a better tracking system for overseas/out of country shipments. Once a package leaves U.S., USPS cannot track it anymore.
