Just ship the R390 with UPS first, when their done with it, you'll be able
to fit it into a shoebox.

Here's what I've been able to divine from the USPS.com website. The 2 
DOMESTIC flat-rate boxes can now be used for international mail. I 
aksed at the counter yesterday if they had any specific international 
boxes, they did not (yet?).

Size #1 is 13 5/8 (34) X 11 7/8 (29.7) X 3 3/8 (8.5) inches/cm. aka 
the "pizza box".
Size #2 is 11 (27.5) X 8.5 (21.3) X 5.5 (13.8) inches/cm. aka the 
"shoe box".

Cost is $37US; maximum weight is 20 pounds/9Kg.
Now, I've used the pizza box to ship several commercial HTs at once, 
and the shoe box can ship a couple of receiver dynamotors, for 
example. If you use the flat-rate box, I highly recommend packing 
everything into a smaller box that just fits inside the flat-rate 
boxes - they're none too sturdy...Bill KA3AIS
