Hey gang- Need ideas...
I've got LuVerne stainless steel nerf bars that PK wants to buy.
Box is 55"L x 10" x 10", 30 lbs.
Too expensive for UPS/FEDEX, and too big for USPS.
Airlines can't take international package from an individual since 9/11. I HATE you Osama Bin Laden!:mado:
I'm told to try a "freight forwarding" company.
Has to go from Phoenix airport to Hobart airport in Tasmania.
Anybody know who to call or how to do this ? I need a quote first. :thanx:
Ive never shipped outside of the US, But I have revived motors from Japan.
I did some quick research and this looks like an option.

You're a wee bit out of PK's price range!:laugho:Quote:

Found a site that ebay suggested called "uship.com". You put a listing for what you need shipped, then shippers bid on it. So I did that last night, got one bid so far for $399 USD for door to door delivery...with delivery 2/16....yes 2/16...now how the heck is that possible? It takes almost that long to fly there! :_thinking
OK, assuming they fudged a bit on delivery date, does $400 sound average for a 30 lb box 55" long? Anybody have any point of reference?
UPS & FedEx were between $490 - $540.
Now I'm trying to find something that's not "door to door", but rather airport to airport/terminal.
...the quest continues....
I think Jason Statham is available for a price, he however drives a high end Audi or BMW, which requires premium fuel.

[shrug] might help...dunno if it is for individual packages though.
Sue, I can probably check with Lawrence from http://www.aussiecarimports.com/ . He shipped my Falcon over here from Oz and he has a lot of containers going over to Australia right now due to the USD and the AUD getting so close. PM me if you want more info.

:drool2::drool2::naughty::naughty: yeah, but he'd never complete his drop since he'd still be intertwined in my arms and I wouldn't be lettin' go....:mbrasd::mbrasd:....and oh, I'll pay him for his, ..um, ..er, ..umm, premium services, I mean fuel...:mbrasd:Quote:

PMing you.Quote:
