at that size, it's going freight. going freight overseas = not cheap at all.

try and break the pieces down and get it into a smaller box so that it doesn't have to be sent freight. that or see if you can ship it on a plane at the airport. they'll drop it off at an airport with all the other luggages on that flight. there's a weight and size restriction though..

Try to do it through your work.

Businesses always get a better rate and will more often than not use a freight forwarder which will reduce the cost even further.

^true.

work rates are like 1/2 of what you'd pay if you walked into a fedex.

Thanks for the replies.

"build a boz like the arc"

What kind of box are you refering to?


"try us mail or ems"

ems?

I'll look into shipping from work.

If you know someone in the military and stationed in europe you can actually send it regular ol' US mail very cheap. I got a bunch of UKDM parts for my Civic Si that way. Good luck!
