I have a 47" Sony and I dont want to sell it and buy another one back at home. Does anyone have any idea how much it would cost me? To El Paso, Texas. Is there any recomended delivery services I should use? Thanks in advance!

I can't imagine it would be at all cheap, my 42" weighs at least 30-40lbs. No matter how built you are, it takes 2 people to carry it. I really don't think that's something US freight managers can handle.


I would recommend surface freight, that'll drop the cost significantly. Get a Korean to walk with you to the post office well-beforehand to sort out the details.

Expect disappointment.

I wanted to buy a decent Trek or Cannondale road bike while in Korea, but learned that shipping alone exceeded the cost of the bike. Expect to hear something like this.
