For only 2 or 3 you should try Australia Post.

For small to medium quantities DHL will do door-to-door.

For large (commercial quantities) perhaps Qantas or TNT?

ahhh thanks RedRover.

for anyone else wanting to know. Shipping internationally for example to the US they calculate based on weight. As long as the package is less than 105cm in length and height.

i didnt know this LOL

just info for anyone else there wanting to ship stuff later on.

I sent an exhaust. Fortunate it disassembled to two pieces and was 104cm long.

Of, and pricing is prety much always calculated on size and weight. That is, a large but light object will be charged on size. A small heavy one on weight.

One company I used previously (maybe was fedex?) had a formula something like:
length x width x height / 4000 = shipping weight

I've found something I MUST have, but they won't ship OS (only local to US).

Anyone? Cheers

Open a fedex account online and get the vendor to send it using your account details.
