International shipping

[NorthernBoater]

What service do people use for shipping larger packages internationally. UPS seems outrageous and USPS is pretty expensive.

I prefer usps

Fedex is nice.

USPS is about the cheapest. A boat about 10 pounds is about $70 or more.

For some obscure reason shipping from USA to NZ is a lot more expensive that UK to NZ.
The distance is far greater and I have my concerns about the carbon footprint and miles that parts cover and thier effect on the environ..........F&%$ I dont give two nuts about that, I just want the best deal.

I was looking for a few bits yesterday for my crawler and they are cheaper from England than from California USA.
How and why has me buggered. I know where I will get my bits from.

In all fairness to you Steven, you have a very fair and low price for posting small goods.
The US carriers and post service are screwing you all as far as I can see.

Outbound from NZ to Aus or UK is a lot cheaper than inbound from the same countries.
Outbound to USA is pricey and g0d knows why.

US customs ??

Not a real good answer to your question Steven, but I though a little outside info may be interesting.
