Hi Wild Rose,
It's really frustrating.But maybe we can try other ways.
1)
Do you try the USPS? Calculate the shipping cost online.

I think it will be much cheaper via USPS than DHL,UPS...
2)
Or you can leave me the weights and dimensions of the box and your shipping address.
I know a shipping dealer here in Taiwan,they shipped sewing machines from the US before.
They have contracts with DHL,UPS,etc, will cost cheaper.
Let's see if they work. I'm a serious buyer and will try any methods that work.
