Default International shipping

Hey guys can you recommend anyone to ship from the states to over here? Besides the usual FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc. etc.

A found a link here a while ago that recommended a company that has accounts set-up with these shippers (and basically can pass on the bulk discounts they get) but I can't find it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated; FYI what I'm looking to ship is a home theatre projector (no massively heavy or awkwardly shaped car parts... this time).

Cheers - Nik

Not had any other experience with any others than what you have listed .. however, i've had good experiences with UPS. Their online reporting/tracking is good. Emails you when a status change happens to your parcel, so you know where it is up to date/live.

Guessing this might be pretty common/standard procedure these days though.

I have heard about freight consolidation services that you can use to take advantage of the free "within US" delivery offers. Then on forward goods to your door. The useless part is that I have no idea who they are of if they are reliable. Only to confirm they exist.

USPS is pretty good.
Cheaper, and international express has tracking, usually 5 business days

Otherwise fedex are the best private (IMO) but expensive. Very fast though. UPS and DHL are OK - similar prcing but I hate DHL (MO)

is it worth more than $900? don't forget about the GST they will impose on you for bringing it into the country.
