Does anybody out there know a good way to ship small quantities of 25 lb packages over seas (from usa to europe, oz, hawaii) without having to fill up a shipping container with them? I’ve tried UPS world ship and one 25 lb box cost about $180 US to go to Norway, plus hidden brokerage fees to the collecting party.
Try calling a couple of freight forwarders, they can consolidate shipments of LCL (less than container load). They should be able to give you a quote w/o obligation. You didn’t mention what size your cartons are, but, if they are large as well as heavy then “dimensionalized weight” can kill you on air freight. B Rgds, jim
Hi, what are you trying to ship? I’m in Norway too, maybe we can organize some shipping together and split the costs or figure out a better source. Shipping from UK is less expensive. www.seabase.ltd.uk and www.homeblown.co.uk carry materials for shaping surfboards. regards, Håvard
