Glen, We ship worldwide. Normally, the best rate is with USPS priority. Shipping times are listed at 5 to 10 business days, but normally it works
out to 7 to 15 business days.

USPS to here too... although they are slow. Compared to J-post :D last kite I sent on the "Tracked and no-longer-than-2-weeks" plan left Japan on a
Monday, arrived on Thursday :o
USPS always takes the maximum time for the rate you buy 
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Don't ship from USA to Canada if one or more spars are frozen. Recent PLK arc was documented "KITE/Gift" and Canadian customs, unable to take them
apart, broke the spars to look inside for illegal contra-ban. Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot.

We all start out with a big bag of luck, and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill your bag of experience, before you empty your bag of
luck.
Learned on PLK B10.5, V13&16 in 2006.
Now: 8, 10m RPM, 21m Speed3.
