Question

To anyone who has shipped products overseas, preferably large parts, I am looking for a good courrier to get some parts to the United States. Please post who you used, what was shipped, and an approximate price including all taxes and fees to get the product into it's destination country.
How was your experience? product arrive in a timely manner in good condition? any tracking services? any hassles picking up/delivering to residential adresses?
Also, any contact information (e-mail, web URL, phone #) you can give would be helpful.

Thank you.

I don't have any personal experience of shipping parts to the states, but I know some dismantlers through my work, and they always recommend UPS. They're more expensive, but giving good tracking info and the parts get there on time.
I've personally used TNT to get computers from UK to Holland, and they didn't even meet deadlines for that so unless you're in tno hurry, I wouldn't recommend them !

Hope that helps

Dave

Definately UPS.

Great tracking facilities, excellent customer service, but slightly expensive. But you get what you pay for.
