The final package size and weight (or dimensional weight-like a thimble ) is what you pay shipping on.

well this is a big relief for me as i thought i was the only one suffering with $800 shipping prices. thanks for sharing. and yeah i always go with fedex priority. i dont want to wait forever for DHL cuz arent they a lot slower cuz they ship it on a boat? like a couple of months or something? plus im scared of DHL anyway.
