Can anyone recommend the best way to ship a guitar in a medium size package (44"x6"x18") weight 25lbs. to Moscow, or St. Pete. Russia from San Francisco, Ca? I have researched several major shipping companies (UPS, FedEX, DHL, USPS Global Express) and they are all very expensive. Is there another company (ocean freight or air freight) someone might recommend? or perhaps another method (such as shipping through another European country such as Finland?)?

I have never had trouble with this approach, providing the value of the goods, if stated as a gift, does not exceed 10,000py6 per consignment. Do not trust the Russian Post Office, as things (in fact almost everything!) will tend to go missing unless fully registered and sent express...
