I do and so far US Postal has been the best rate.

Same here. FedEx and UPS are crazy expensive.

I use DHL when ever I can. My neighbor is the station manager there. Least week I shipped out a set of sprokets and a brake calliper for chrome plating. Cost me 7 bucks with them giving me a box, got there in 2 days... see if they have a over night delivery, they will take where ever else is close ot that address and deliver it first also. Keeps the driver from having to make 3 runs on the same route. As far as service, never had a moments trouble wth them. Still waiting on UPS to send me a check for the Pope gas tank they stuck a forlklift forlk in aobut 9 years ago.
Dont like what you see??? Big red X in the top right of your screen will fix it!

how much weight are you shipping, what is the commodity and where is it going? The "what & where" will determine what type of documentation is needed and if you can expect any customs issues.
