Finaly got time to front up at the post office with one in a box. 6.3KG. dropped a plastic bag on the box while on the scale with 2 optional slides and tube locator, 6.31 kg.
So with without options freight is same.
In AU dollars, which is less than your dollars, best 2 choices are:-
$82. Transport by sea. Without pirates, sunami's, sinking, torpedoed, storms and rouge waves transit time MAY be up to 90 days. If the rowing slaves don't revolt or die of the plague.
$128 Transport by Air. Unless flying with Malasia Airlines, shot down by chineese or Russians, hi-jacked, used to demolish buildings or just falling out of the sky. Transit time 10 days.
AS-2 Unit with everything but 3 bench bolts $198usd, with both optional slides $228usd.
3rd option is $1600usd transport, and I deliver personaly, eat all your food, drink your beer and fly home, annoyance factor with this option HIGH.
Bob due to the fact you ordered 2, the additional Press pin you wanted is Gratis..
Bobs, Pretz's and Huntnmans are boxed and ready, Redwoode and finister are 90% done, should all be good withing 48 hours, THEN I will assemble mine. Once Redwoods is finished I shall tidy the place up, and make a video for you on how to assemble and set up. There is a basic "how to" sheet in the box.
