Forrest Gump 9 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I have some stuff that I need to ship over sea. The item itself is about 10lbs in weight but it's bulky. I try Fedex and UPS and they both want ~$600 to ship. USPS just traight out refuse to ship it because of the size. Are there any other options? Thanks in advance.

Franchi Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Maybe DHL, they specialise in overseas shipping but fairly costly from what I remember. I shipped a guitar I sold to Europe last year and I went with USPS as I just fit in under their size requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Mine is no where as big as a guitar. Just called DHL, $768. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 If it was going to an APO you could use the post office. DHL is really the only large overseas carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I shipped a whole intercooler piping / front mount / intake piping to someone in austrailia in a vacum box through USPS and it was only like $70. What are you shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I shipped a 12lb flywheel to Malaysia for $80 through fed ex but that was utilizing my former employer's discount. List was $234. I also shipped a pair of leather boots to denmark via fed ex and that was $35. I can't remember what list was. Your best bet would be to find someone who works for a big company that has an account with a major carrier and utilize their discount. Shoot, I shipped exhaust systems and transmission through fed ex for $35 using my works discount ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
