I just sent a package of similar dimensions to an SB2 from NYC to Norway, and yes, UPS and Fedex both quoted well over $100. USPS however did it for $30. I recommend you check out your local post office, they're often a lot cheaper for international deliveries. -- radish

If you are referring to the same unseating problem that I recall, it should be a simple matter of pushing the card back in place. The only trick required is a torx screwdriver to get into it. As it's second hand already, there is no warantee to protect. -kdf -- kdf
