Any of you guys know any reasonably priced shipping depots?
I got 4 door cards that i would like to sell to a guy in Sweden but the shipping prices are outrageous.

Cheapest i could find was All Cargo Express in Richmond for $638, whereas regular ups or Canadapost was anywhere ranging from 800 to 1000.

Anyone? :okay:

Greyhound does international shipping. You didn't mention the weight, but 100 pounds to Sweden is $617 (http://www.shipgreyhound.ca/en/services/pdfs/International.pdf).

Have you tried shipping them from the states?

Try calling DHL Global (formerly DHL Danzas). Talk to a freight broker and see what they can do. I shipped a drivetrain from their warehouse on Annacis to Gotenburg, Sweden for like $800.

look up LCL from a freight forwarder. should be very cheap but pack it extremely well.

Try shipping from USPS at Blaine or Point Roberts, WA. You will save around 50% on shipping.
