international shipping

Hi Chris, well, from The Netherlands to other countries *inside* Europe the Dutch Postal Service accepts packages upto 30 kilo, and then the max shipping costs are 39 Euro. *Outside* Europe the max weight is only 20 kilo, and economy shipping is 53 Euro, and priority shipping is 108 Euro. 100 Euro is approx 130 US$, so asking $300 is a rip off I would say! - Henk, PA8PDP. -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org To: cctech at classiccmp.org Sent: 8-7-2005 22:08 Subject: international shipping Can anyone tell me the best way to have something shipped from say England or the Netherlands (or Germany). Or even Brazil/Argentina. Or even Australia. I know it's not ever going to be cheap, but when you calculate 20 or so pounds from S.America - $300+, I figure there must be a better way. For those of you who already don't know it, FedEx usually beats UPS by a mile at domestic postage. Perhaps half in alot of cases. But they don't cover as many areas as it seems UPS does.
