    As Brian said, USPS (US Post) is the only way to go, Fedex and UPS are stupidly exxy.

    A mate buys saws (new and used) and parts from the US all the time, (I've bought a new saw and a few bits too) and we always use USPS and never have a problem with customs (except when the value exceeds $1000).

    McCulloch aren't what they used to be 30 years ago - I'd get a new reliable one and go Stihl.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I've got 2 new (ish) Huskies.
    This is the 2 stroke equivalent of a series 2 rebuild

    It will need every drop of fuel and oil thoroughly removed, otherwise it will be treated as a dangerous good, and will not be shipped. Good luck.

    You haven't lived until you've used a hydraulic chainsaw 20m underwater and you're holding the handle on the wrong end of the 4' bar in zero visibility and no communications.

    Give me a rattly Mac any day.

    Use USPS Priority International. A complete 100cc saw will cost about US$120-150

    do ask them to clean it but it doesnt have to be spotless, make sure they have dumped fuel mix and bar oil. Ask them not to send in any used produce box.

    good luck with the rebuild.

    what Mac is it?
