Are you still in search? I'm thinking of parting with one of my Hannah's and getting DD2 a PWSG. DOM of 2/22/11 and 3/??/11. Both are in excellent condition.

I have a NIB one in Blue Opal, but shipping usually kills these deals. I think someone posted about it costing about $60 to ship her ProSport.

No way!! I have shipped a Radian for anywhere from $19-$30 depending on where it goes. Does it weigh a lot more than the Radian? Radian sits around 29-30lbs in a box. PM me and we can talk

The prosport box is huge so shipping is much more than a radian.

If you can figure out how to cut the PS box down by a couple of inches total, it would be a lot cheaper. It's the box size that does the PS in.

Well, I no longer have the box (well, I do, but it's brightly colored and has doors and windows now.) but can fit it another. It got the shipping down to $55 through UPS and only $25 parcel post.

Did you use the original box? I'm just curious if the USPS estimate is really that far off. The dimensions I have are: 26"x17"x20". Even if I add and 1" in each direction it still quotes at $25.

I shipped one PP for about $53.00 in the smallest, snuggest fitting box I could get.They are very expensive to ship.

Yes it was in the original box. You'd better take it in for a quote because no way is it going to be $25!

I shipped one in a blvd70 box for $25 MI to NE (i think). The box has to equal 108" combined length+girth.

That's 100" you will be fine.

Flame me not but I have fudged the inches and shipped boxes that came in a little over 108 and they have made it to their destination fine I Even shipped a MyRide ;-)

My po actually measures on the spot for any large packages even if you've already prepaid.

My PO is super laid back. I shipped something that was 110"..wasn't a car seat, can't remember what though, and the lady asked if it was small enough because it looked like it was pushing it. I told her it just made it..she never measured lol It really sucks that there aren't more reasonable shipping options out there. But it was either UPS or FedEx that was like $30something to ship this to me from another mama which wasn't TOO bad IMO.

They can also measure it any time along the way and still charge the extra postage.

I would definitely pay the overage if it got caught but worth a try lol
