Pat,

As far as I know, Australia Post use crates of a certain dimension for incoming goods and if you are too big to fit into the crate then Australia Post won't bring it into the country. USPS are aware of the dimension and therefore won't accept cartons that are over this size.

I buy guitars in the US and I know that they are too long for Ausralia Post and have to be sent via courier and it is very expensive. Around the $400-$500 mark per guitar (Fedex airfreight).
