Default Over seas shipping.. WHO TO USE?????

I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what shipping company I should use to ship some boat parts over seas. Germany (Berlin) Package weighs probably near 50 pds. 2 sets of gil mufflers.

Thanks very much,
John

I need to come some what close with an idea of shipping cost. What do you think the PO would charge for such. I can also box these mufflers in 4 seperate boxes to keep the weight down. Any idea of cost for 50 pds total

Thanks very much guys for the help/

I am just trying to get this handled this evening for a quote. I tried to google it and even go on DHL site however they need more info than I have right now.

Do you guys think I would be safe to say 150.00 would get it there based on 50 pds. This would either be Postal or DHL. Most accesable for me where I live.

Thanks again
John

Go to the US Post Office and see if they have a flat rate box that will work. They have flat rate shipping boxes for international shipping with a max of 20# per box. This was the least expensive option when I shipped something last year. All the other carriers were triple the USPS price.

50 lbs to germany is $178.00 but it can go up fast if you are off on the weight use your bathroom scale stand on it by your self then with the package to get the weight
