Default Shipping Question

Figured I would post this here since it has to do with my location. I am looking for suggestions to find a shipping service. I will need to send a supercharger kit and some long tube headers over to England. And I am looking for the cheapest/reliable shipper I should use. Please let me know your reccomendations.
Thanks,
-=Rick

i've never quite shipped anything quite like that, but i am a big fan of fed ex - i use them at work quite a bit......maybe not the cheapest, but they definitely lean way; more to the reliable side.

my two cents

Yea I was checking out both of those. and estimating the package size it's expensive to ship this stuff I think I'll have a better Idea when I get them. But probably looking at close to a grand to ship! with either company, and that was just one package. I wonder if there is a smaller company out there that does it for less.

TTT

I just found out the shipping weights of the packages I will need to send. There going over to England.

35lbs 34x16x16
17lbs 46x7x32
15lbs 28x16x10
100lbs 67x17x12

I'm kinda looking for a cheaper alternative then DHL or FexEx. so far were lookin at some big bucks to ship.
