Who have you found that will do it for that price? That's a bargain
compared to the recent quotes I've heard.

I would think the shipping one way and insurance alone would be that
much. (Based on costs reported of shipping new gliders to west coast from
EU)

It is significantly cheaper to ship to to/from the east coast, and even
then it is likely only cost effective if you can send 2 or 3 gliders in a
container...
