Hey guys, an aussie here and im going to be buying a pair of 670 FTW cards, can anyone help me out by giving me the size of the box (l/w/h) and weight with the card and everything in it? 
 
Cant find any of this info on any stores sites and i need the weights and sizes so i know if buying in the usa and having it forwarded to me is cheaper than buying it here (419 with free shipping in usa compared to 529 plus shipping in australia) 
 
Thanks guys

    Thanks, I am surprised how noone has had an answer to my question. Would be great if you posted the size and weight.

    Thanks for the rough weight, at least i know two should be under 10lb to ship. Still need box sizes, and more accurate weight, because i would hate to get a quote for one weight, then when they actually get  shipped have to be bumped up to another weight bracket and get a nasty surprise on my bill

    I'm holding a 670 FTW box and it is 13" long not 11.75".
     
    Just in case that changes things.

    I just measured mine at 12.875" x 9.5" x 2.875" and it weighs in at 3 pounds. I have 3 of them sitting here and that is pretty close to the exact dimensions.

    Yeah, my 670 FTW box is 9.5" x 3" x 13"
     
    edit:  yeah, the post above is likely a little more accurate:   12.875" x 9.5" x 2.875"

    i'm assuming he's using a mail forwarding service... i'm very tempted to do this... about $100 or so cheaper than buying from OCUK but i'm not sure how much of a hassle it'll be

    Also, if you do go ahead with it, let us know in the Petition to get cards in Aus thread. Link is in my sig.

    Hi guys, rest assured that the AU thread is being reviewed and discussed at the highest levels in our company.  
     
    As a side note, please do not order from our web store and ship to a forwarding company.  While I cannot comment on our partners (Newegg, Tiger Direct, etc), we do not ship to forwarding companies.  
     
    I am just trying to eliminate issues with canceled orders and issues associated with forwarding companies.  
     
    Thanks,
    Rob

    YAY! About time we stop getting owned with prices.  And its crazy that the OP could save $140 by doing this!  I saved a truckload of money when I got my 590 shipped to my brother in the USA and then shipped over here.

    thank you for your heads up rob, i will be ordering from newegg and they will ship to this company.
     
    Thanks for looking into this issue with australian reselling. Because if you guys shipped the parcel to us via USPS or UPS or whatever, it is still cheaper than buying it here.
