I'm selling a huge cardboard cut out of Hulk Hogan on eBay at the minute and someone from America is interested in it. I can packaged it with thin MDF, no problem but it's 1 metre 20 cms x 1 metre 20 cms. Do you think I can find anyone that will send it for me? No. Has anyone else got any experience of this type of problem? Can I send it or is it just impossible? |

I'd imagine it can be sent, people ship cars, bikes, furniture to and the from the US pretty frequently. I assume you've tried the obvious ones, like DHL, FedEx etc? I also imagine it'll cost a small fortune. |

Yeah, I did think that it could be sent but that was before I went into finding out how much it would cost. I've tried all the obvious places and even a "compare the market" type site. No luck so far... |

You tried parcel2go or parcelmonkey? Parcel2go will usually give you a price on any parcel, but it might not be cheap. |

Fold it. Then fold it again. Then fold it until it'll fit in a tiny box. Or into the shape of a box and then shove a stamp on it. |

Just tell the sender that it is going to cost £10k, then buy two first class seats, one for you and one for the cut out of Hulk Hogan and record the entire thing as some sort of documentary. You can fly British Airways and have Hulk vs BA! |

Why do you have so many cardboard cutouts of wrestlers? (Not that I have eBay stalked you) (I totally have) |

Why do you ask? Are you interested in one or two? Imagine how cool Darwin would think his parents are when a card board cut out of The Rock appears in his nursery? Seriously though... I had then from working at Game. They've sat in my parents loft for years so I thought that I could sell them and put the money towards an Xbox One. |

There's a wrestler called The Dumper. One to avoid, I believe. |
