Golf bags always expensive international shipping?

[Zeph]

I really want the Ogio Grom bag, but everywhere I look the shipping price range from $75 to over $100 which makes the total 50% higher. There are very limited places to buy golf equipment where I live, foreign internet stores and eBay is my salvation there.

But when the volume goes a bit up the shipping price goes way up. I'd thought weight mattered more, but obviously not since I can get a set of irons shipped for £30-40.

If anyone got tips on webshops or Ebay sellers with better shipping prices, I'd appreciate it. The chances of finding someone who sells Ogio and got low shipping costs are small, but it's worth a shot. Most of the other brands I can get in Norway, but of course not Ogio. It's just like Mizuno irons, not possible to track down here. Coincidentally just the two brands I want to buy.
The clubs I've found, but really want a new bag too.

Have you called Ogio to see if they have any bags in Norway?

The other option is discussed below:

I'd ask a friend heading out to the UK or US to get one for you. Wouldn't be too difficult for the business traveler (they probably just have their carry on and one piece of luggage) The golf bag would be checked empty, so wouldn't weigh much at all.

Of course, you would have to coordinate how they obtain the particular bag you want. The easiest would be to google the hotel or address your friend is staying. Then type in golf stores near (insert address here) Call the golf store ahead of time to reserve the bag.

I don't know what the cost to ship from here to there(where) is USPS Priorety International, but I'd be more than happy to pick one up and ship it to you if you fit the bill. I've shipped golf bags to Austria using it and can't remember the cost, but the buyer was more than willing to pay because it was much cheaper than the other options.
