Title: US Shipping help required please
Post by: plasticblack on July 22, 2008, 18:41:40 pm
Can anyone out there recomend a good cheap Shipper in the States please?  ???

 I need to get some parts shipped to Europe. Not big stuff, small box kind of thing.

  I've been quoted $125 by the sller and I think that's a bit too much really.

   Does anyone have good experiences they can share :)

    Thanks..

What shipping company is that guy using? They be smoking the funky stuff!!!!  :o
I have shipped smallish boxes weighing no more than a few pounds to Europe for around $15 $20.
Here is a link to USPS. You can figure out the postage for yourself.

For small stuff USPS is the best most of the time.

Depending What it is and the size of the Box I have Found When Shipping to europe it is cheaper to use USPS  They now have a Flat Rate Priority Mail that is much Cheaper but you have to use there Flat Rate Box.  I ship alot of stuff in the States I use one size box they have 12x12x8 you can send up to 50Lbs for $10.95 as long as it fits in the Flat Rate Box there are different size Flat Rate boxes it is the best way to ship if its not to big and bulky
