It depends on the shipper.
Be very cautious with DHL, UPS and FedEx!
All three absurdly overcharge for brokerage and import duty. Mail is far better. Risk of damage from all 3 is about equal, mail is less because mail stream has less heavy parcels stuffed into air cans. Mail parcel limit is around 30kg, commercial carriers are about 70kg.

R&A Cycles have a NOS XXL 695 i-Pack for $2500, import from the US is no worse than from the EU these days 🙂
