[Test-Equipment] Shipping from Australia to US?

[telegrapher at att.net]

 I don't think surface mail to Australia is available anymore.  I was shipping packages down there every couple of months and then all of a sudden everything changed.  

The main restriction is the dimensions.  Going to OZ you were allowed 79 inches,  H-W-D.  Any more than that i don't think the post office will handle.  It wa eiether 79 or 89,inches, forget which so you might ask the PO about it.  Over that and i think it was also 40 lbs, they tell you to repack or take it someplace else.  Ran into that more than once also.
Might ask one of the Aussies on the list for help here.
