Yes, they can be crazy expensive. I used FedEx from California to the island with 2-day guarantee in 2010, I sent a set of building plans in a tube package. With the shipping & fees it cost $432 usd and did not arrive for a week. FedEx told me that they are only responsible for the United States portion of the package. After that if it is lost, stolen or damaged the extra money I paid for insurance was no good. Hopefully they have improved their international agreement. If you are not in a hurry use the US Postal Service.... A lot less money and we have never lost a package mailing from either direction. Hope this helps
