Why, WHY do they have this bad idea that they don't want to send anything over 105cm to foregin countries!?!

Most are the same, but from my own experience at least one will do longer than 105cm. Had a partially completed stave sent to me from Hungary, cannot remember what the actual stave length was but the bow is approx 1.9m or 75" long and I doubt I shortened it much if at all as this is a short bow to me. Anyway the supplier sent it Hungarian Post, who flew it over to Australian Post who duly delivered it to my local post office. The folks at my post office moaned at me for the parcel being too long ;D From memory it cost $115 to post.
So there seem to be some postal organisations that do ship long parcels.

Shipping costs, etc., aside... who is going to shoot this 215# bow?

I believe he was referencing the price (English pounds) ???

Anytime I've had someone in Europe want an Osage stave I've always tell them that shipping a Billet is a lot cheaper. Toy have the shipping plus the Custom's Fee to deal with.

Yes he was, as was shown by his "215 pounds = 333 CDN dollars"
