Default Inexpensive international shipping?
What is the best company to use that would be the cheapest to ship an item internationally? It is about 70-75 pounds. Thanks.

Seems like US Mail only has 2-3 day shipping for such a large item. It is an electric piano that with packing will weigh 70lbs.

It depends on the country. We sent an air package that weighed 80lbs to the philippines, and it cost us $863 :happysad:... and the contents were only worth about $50.

Try getting quotes from ups.com fedex.com dhl.com usps.com, etc.

We had to send a bunch of medicine and meal replacement shakes, etc... It was for my auntie when she was sick. We would have sent it in a balikbayan box but that would have took 6-8 weeks.
