A small correction, sorry :
I recently shipped a Ritchey Mountain bike frameset _only_ in a drastically cut-down box to Taiwan, successfully, 10 pounds 4 oz. The only way to ship an oversize (> 79 inches L + girth) box to Taiwan and many other places is by US Postal which actually hands the package over to Fedex for 3 day international express service. The cost was $192.00 and the frameset arrived today.
You cannot get such a low price by going directly through Fedex itself, go figure.
