The Reason the USPS will not take the package is that the total girth exceeds 60 inches
its not like is a one-piece part. you couldnt separate the parts into a less obnoxiously-sized box?

simply asking for the hatch dudes here who dont want to bend over on shipping

70" is 5ft 10in.... thats pretty wide

^ That's the size box mine came in. It was the OEM box for the tail light kit- it's SUPER long. :/

The size of the box is mostly the lower metal panel we can ship the light with out the panel and put the lower panel in another box which we have tried to do, but the size of the box for the lower panel is still about the same. In the lower 48 states it is $40 flat rate for shipping. But now also seperating the boxes caused the price to jump up, because of the dimensional weight of the 2 boxes vs the one they come from Nissan. So no matter how you look at it the shipping is better in the one box

Sean is not that I don't whant to pay for shipping is that $275 is way to much for shipping. Let mesee what I can do by get them shipped to my brother house in FL and when he comes to PR can bring it with him on the plane I did that with a set of rims that I bought in ebay that the guy did not wanted to ship here and when O went to see my family there I brought them with me on the plane. Let see what happens.

Yes Parcel Post is $97. That is for un insured packages. So if it gets lost or damaged there is nothing anyone can do about it. I personally do not feel comfortable shipping USPS much less Parcel Post. Its a HUGE gamble.

If you would like them sent that way we can do it but you must pay via wire transmission or certified funds. We would charge $110 for shipping.

For all of you in PR that are not into gamb|ing we will ship the Tails for $215 via FedEx International Economy.

Can someone give me a link on how to convert your 240SX trunk lock to fit on the 180SX Kouki tail light garnish? I have searched a bit but cant find pics I know its been discussed before...

Thanks, Zach
