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.

Hmm my experience with destinations is that Fedex beats UPS with that too!
I am talking exotic destinations though. Anyway, up to 20 kilo's from
the Netherlands to outside europe its best to ship via the Dutch
postal office. They dont send anything heavier than 20 kilo's so
you'll need to turn to FedEx or some other company.

By far, call up DHL and tell them taht you are doing international
shipping, and they will put together a price schedule for you that will
beat anything, hands off. As part of the pricing schedule, they will
automatically give you extra-special domestic shipping as well. it's way
worth it. Only problem with domestic shipping is that DHL doesn't
require signatures, but other than that, it saves a load.
