Subject: [CR]Shipping a frame from Canada to Italy

Anyone have any suggestions for carriers and/or recent experience sending items to Rome, Italy? The 59cm Guerciotti frame I have on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7233073036

Has elicited a request for what shipping to Rome would be and I'm getting insane numbers from the online calculators. CanadaPost tells me $260 CDN, UPS $392 CDN, Fedex $470 CDN (!!!). There has to be a less expensive alternative. Anyone?

Thanks,

David
