ayone on here able to help me out? christ… so im trying to get some :snky: from the UK, i got a guy with all my parts all boxed up ready to go and whatnot, but he was having trouble getting them picked up because everytime they showed up they tried to tell him he owed an extra $150 because “its bigger than you quoted online” which is bullshit. so he asked me to try from my end. and here is what i came up with. UPS is the cheapest(via online quote) so i called to set it up…but i am not aloud to schedule a pickup in the UK from here, it has to be scheduled IN the UK, only way i can pay for it is if the guy over there schedules the pickup and cahrges it to a UPS account which i would have to signup for. so that was crappy. called DHL they told me absolutely they could do that… for $488 me=lol in their face and hangup Called FedEx they could also do it, but i would have to get the number for the UK fedex to set up the pickup, and the “economy” is $230…more than i wanted to pay, but i guess i can swing that if i have to. the normal was also in the upper $400 range like DHL. the forum that i communicate with the guy on is down until sunday night, so i cannot contact him to get his thoughts. wtf anyone know any other shipping companies or have some type of string they can pull? o yea, if it matters its one box 69"long x 15" wide x 9" tall 45lbs. ---

if he can’t I can check into it on monday at work. 45# is nothing. I ship out boxes at 110+ daily through ups, and they are never more than $60 nationally, $100 canada. I have only ever shipped to the UK once, and it was a medium sized box so not really comparable here. If all else fails, i have a UPS account #, can arrange the pickup, and you can just pay my boss. That would be the cheapest route i would assume! ---
