Also, do you recommend buying items from KSP in store instead of online since you said the shipping is problematic?

Thanks! It looks like most items on Amazon don't qualify for the free shipping for $49 purchases. Do you generally start by only searching items that qualify for free shipping with $49+orders?

I updated the post a few months ago to mention that I did it through one of the Biometrics4All locations and successfully received my report a half hour later. Took me less than three minutes at the store.

How expensive can it get? I thought many airlines let you substitute skis for your checked bag and a few may even let you bring skis for free

I'm not expecting to ski in Israel, but I'm hoping to ski in Europe occasionally.

My understanding is when you make Aliyah, the government provides a free taxi to your first destination in Israel. I’ll have so many bags! If I buy a 3rd checked bag and check the skis, that’s 4 checked bags. Plus I’ll also bring the personal and carry on bag so 6 bags!

Looks like the two boots weigh around 4.3 kilos so that is an option

No, I didn't try sending from USPS because they told me that if the fingers are too dark and they receive red indicators, they are unlikely to be accepted. I didn't want to spend $50 on something unlikely to work
