Don't what methods Elecraft is willing to use, but if it fits in a 9x11 inch envelope and weighs less that 4 pounds you can send it by International Priority Mail for about $14.00. They have a small box at that rate, too. We have sent everything from cake frosting to LCD keychains to Norway that way. Generally takes about 5 days. Larger boxes with a 20 pound limit are $25 and up to about $55.00 for a box not quite the size of a K3 kit as I recall. All a bargain when compared to the parcel post rates.
Actually they have the same service domestically running from $5.00 to $14.00 or so. Weight limit here is 70 pounds as I recall. Can be cheaper than UPS or FedEx. Disclosure: I neither work for nor own stock in the USPS. I do however use their services on an almost daily basis -- generally incoming.
