Ship internationally for cheap?

[Aereldor]

Thought I'd put this out there in hope of an answer.

 

I'm a drummer who's been desperately searching for a specific cymbal, and I found someone in Portugal selling one for about $320. However, I have no idea how to get him to 

 

The dimensions of the cymbal are 22"x22"x4" and 5.1 lbs, or 56x56x10cm, and the package will probably be an inch or two larger on all sides. The Cymbal weighs 2.3 kilos or 5.1 pounds. FedEx shipping is over $200, and DHL is almost $300. 

 

What are some ways he can ship this internationally?

 

Regards,

Aereldor.

Local post office using SAL? (though I don't know if this is only available for commercial use or not)

We figured out a cheaper solution that's still expensive but manageable ($90 through CTT- the local Portugal post service).

 

What's SAL?

Its like half Surface half air. Faster then Surface slower then air. More expensive then Surface lot less expensive then air.
