shipping to Australia?

Anyone know of a good company to use for shipping to Australia. I have fiberglass bits to send out and am getting quoted crazy money.
Any ideas?

I think Hotshotbeans is off there pretty soon - might be worth dropping him a U2U he's got a container etc...

I used Royal Mail to send my hubs to Aus, wasn't cheap due to the weight, but still cheaper than getting a private courier to send it

I work for a Logistics company in Manchester

how much are you moving? Trouble is your up against it as the rates are best if your moving something very small or can fill your own container but not great when your inbetween!

Yeh I know. Its seats, nose cone and wings. Lots of volume bugger all weight. Gets charged on volume. i have been in touch with a rellocation place close to me and they have been the cheapest so far.

UPS are usually not bad for weighty stuff, and I've used Parcelfarce for lighter stuff. It's dear either way.





DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

You need to find a 'freight consolidation' company. These people put together container loads, by consolidating smaller consignments from people like yourself.

Usually 6weeks to Aus. east coast.

Cheers,
