Anyone have some black magic to get parcels >42"from US into Austraila ? USPS restrictions choke length to 42" I have been hung on this before, shipping Fuchs there needing one per parcel. Other overseas shipments have length / girth opened up like it always was (Priority mail). All I can figure is USPS is contracting small planes for the last leg into Ausi.

Spend two years getting ridiculous quotes from everyone, get a contract in shipping and find out its minimally less than air even at baseline mates rates then get angry then sad, see who is travelling on a plane willing to take it on board as baggage or do what i did and have it cut up...
Sorry state of affairs these new limit regs

Or contact a logistics company and ask a quote to transport stuff on the pallet? Takes more time, but usually is much cheaper.

Hi I had a bumper shipped to Brisbane Austrialia from the UK and the seller used parcel2go.com and they shipped it with FexEx. Don't know if it was cheapest option but was a long package
