Visited their shop and have friends in Tennessee who say they are good.  Can't comment on their shipping to Oz though as I haven't used them for that yet.

I'd be very curious to see the package weight.  Something tells me it would be a decent size and weight.

Have you considered getting it shipped to LA and then put on a slow boat to make it cheaper?

When I have had large items sent via container, I call the people whose container service I am using, find out the address details to have it sent to at the shipping port, ask the "estimated" departure and arrival time and then place my order using that address information.

I know people who have had plastic targa roof panels broken all the time in local American shipping so I suspect that the windscreen would be overpackaged to the max.
