I've never shipped a bow, only staves which weigh a lot more than a bow. It never costs me more than 50$. I dont mind shipping a bow overseas guys, no need to do a raffle.

Obviously if someone wanted to help me out I wouldn't turn it down. i just think it would be cool for someone to shoot one of my bows overseas!

Another thing to consider is if you value the bow at a hefty price and are shipping across borders, your recipient will be smacked with a tariff.i would suggest a value of 50$ and tagged as hand crafted art work bow,because that's what I belive it is. Chances are no duty will be inflicted if labeled this way.

Since there is no money changing hands I would think this is the place to send it as a gift.

That really surprises me. $50 ain't bad. I'll consider it when I have something worth trading.

Bushboy is talking customs, there and import export charge, more valuable the item more they charge.

I was gonna mention that too bushboy. I got a bit of a smack with that last trade.  60$ in duties and taxes, because there was a 400$ value placed on it.  I don't think my trader knew, so no worries, but it would be nice to avoid that in the future.

I must say this trade is very well thought out, much better than how we used to do it in the old days.  I really like the rules.  As bubbles mentioned though, if by chance you do have to ship north cross border then consider that a high dollar declared value will cost the recipient a tidy chunk of money by customs.

I shipped mine as "Native America Inspired artwork". It got there in about a week and was pretty inexpensive.
