I need shipping insight
 

Dose any one know of a shipping company that ships heavy items from the UK to the US at a decent cost? Items around 100lbs each (45kg). Any thing but UPS or FedEx.

FedEx and UPS want $550 per box so thats why I don’t want to use them. Its all most cheaper for me to fly over there and bring them back my self.

erm, i don't think i can help with this one. I still can't believe they actually charge 550 for each, what a rip.

Ya no kidding, its insane. But I think I will just have to eat it and pay that any way.

For the cost of a round trip flight, hotel rooms, food, ect ect it would cost more to go over and get them. Plus the fact they would chage more to put that kinda weight on the plane.

Oh well..

yea thats a rip off...
only way i could think is to get someone u noe to send it over with them for u

i found this one they have an estimate form to fill in

worth a try i'll have a look for some more they reckon their prices are the best and over here 0800 numbers are free so they must be ok i'll look for some more if you want me to.

Thanks, will look into it.

what in the heck are they if you dont mind me asking?

Hey rms2001 you should try to call some of the airlines there in the U.K. Sometimes you can ship stuff like that (it's called airfrieght). I think British Airways and I know united has an air fieght.hope this gives some help....

Nah I don’t mind.
I hope to get my greedy paws on 20 Special Edition Crystal Pack XBoxes.
I’d get more, but shipping sucks ass with 20 so… At the very minimum I will get 4 or 5, but getting and paying for 20 isn’t a problem, shipping is.

An XBox new in its box is about 10 pounds, 20 x 10 = 200lbs

It sucks I don't own a business b/c I would just write the shipping off on my taxes. :p

Dirty - I looked into that all ready. I need an account with them or I need to call the UK for a rate. No way and I paying for phone call to the UK just to get a shipping rate. If I did it better be a really hot chick on the other end and be willing to go out to dinner. :rolleyes:

Oh wow this is the first I have heard of the Special Edition Crystal Pack XBoxes. I just did a search and found this picture of it. Way cool. Could just imagine how cool it would look with the LED's from a mod inside and a lite fan. oh oh and the jewel would look cool back lite too!!
