Shipping a engine to Lecce Italy next week. I am trying to get the best price, but all I can find is a $900 quote from UPS.

Other than FedEx, DHL, and UPS who else ships crates out of the country? THANKS

thats about right.

I sold about 5 pairs of Bride seats INTL, i got quotes from USPS for $150 a box. I printed lables, dropped them off an they all got returned to me for being OVERSIZE and Overweight.

Next cheapest i could find was $800 through fedex or UPS

USPS is the cheapest but they have alot of restrictions. Packages cant be over 108 inches in girth (H+2L+2W) which is pretty small, and cant be over 70lbs.

UPS and Fedex have no restrictions, because they charge you an ASS LOAD OF MOOLAH.

I have a business account with FEDEX, if you call them and ask for a 1 time special deal, they will give you $450 for FEDEX FREIGHT. but you have to ask for it.
