You've got a two pronged problem, its relatively heavy for its size and you
need to ship it pretty far. This is one of the reasons you're usually better of
buying something like an alternator locally. If its a reman you get the same
alternator, you don't pay shipping and you don't have to pay to return the
core...

I went to mail the alternator core back to Autohauz az today. Its value is
$45, post office wants to charge me $50 to mail it. Is this for real? I told
them that I’m throwing it right in the garbage. Would UPS be cheaper. I’m only
going to try once more before it really goes in the trash. My time has some
value here.
