1F contacted me (fast. was not expecting reply until after the holidays )
We do send our international shipments by DHL. You are able to arrange your own shipping. However, you will need to provide us with all the necessary paperwork prior to shipping. Any items lost in shipping and/or shipping damages are not covered by warranty. If you need a replacement item is during our warranty period, you will have to pay for its shipping cost.
From this is infer that I will not only be responsible for arranging shipment, but pickup at 1F facility, duty paperwork, et. al.
For reference, I found this page with weights and dims:
Looks like I will be busy for a while. Not good with logistics myself, but have a couple of friends that are. It’ll be a bummer if it ends up not being much cheaper in the end.
