Affordable shipping rates to Europe?
I am trying to find the best and most affordable way to ship a package to me in Europe from back home in the US. It contains a car radio and flat LCD computer screen. I am guessing 15 pounds in weight? I checked with UPS/Fedex and I am getting a quote of $600 to ship. For that price I might as well buy airplane tickets to and from Columbus, Ohio. Anyone know of a better way to ship or what options I might have? thanks in advance.

As long as you stay within the USPS overall package size guidelines, they are still the most cost effective way to ship.
Minimum length and width: 5-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches Maximum length: 42 inches Maximum length + girth combined: 79 inches $65 for the package you described via Airmail or $43 by "surface" to the UK. |

Thanks guys... I didn't check with USPS because I thought they would cost more with larger items. Turns out they are by far the cheapest... I got a quote of $51 for Air parcel post (4-10 days). Note to anyone else... do NOT ship economy. You might as well toss whatever you are shipping into the trash.

Before someone mentioned DHL.... I tried them, too. I got a quote of $380.01 to ship. Seriously... I might as well buy a new car CD deck for that price
