Don't know if it is some special deal but my younger son just ordered some stereo stuff from NY and it came in via DHL for a flat $7 fee plus taxes etc. Don't know if that is something they negotiated or if DHL does that on all packages.

But, we try to ship USPS and you pay next to nothing in customs & duty. The only time it is a problem is if it is too heavy. Call us anytime and we can quote you the shipping costs USPS.
