Default Savage XL Box size & weight?

I am trying to get back into RC cars after a long (family) break - having a son really helps revisit these hobbies which you previously had to give up!
Am looking into ordering a HPI Savage XL online and need some help to work our the cheapest shipping. Can someone provide me with the following:

-dimensions of the current savage XL box which it is delivered in
-total weight of the box with with all contents (as it was delviered, ie with car controller starter etc)

THanks in advance for this - it is much appreciated

Don't have teh info you're looking for, but keep shopping and find a shop that offers free shipping with a purchase of this size. I wouldn't consider paying for shipping on a purchase like this unless it was such a deal that with S&H included it would still beat anything else.

I just had a Kyosho Inferno shipped and it was about $25 UPS gnd on 19lbs, I'd expect yours to be a little heavier.

I don't know how far you are from wherever you are purchasing it from, but it cost me 45$ to ship a Savage X4.6 from Washington (state) to Ohio with basic post office first class mail. I'd expect the XL to be about the same or a bit more.

Default Thanks for the feedback

...maybe I should have mentioned that I am based in Europe...that's why I'm interesting in the shipping from the US!
From what I have seen so far, shipping is over $100 for a car and I am trying to work out if it is cheaper when ordering two cars (for my buddy) and combining the shipping ... now I just have to find a shop who will combine shipping!

PS I would normally support my local hobby shop, but Savage XLs retail for more than $1000 over here
