Default Shipping to France--Suggestions

I am shipping a cross-over to France.

Any cost effective suggestions? It can't go USPS because it is too large.

FedEx and UPS seem very expensive. No hurry in the shipping.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Garrity

We ship all over the world from work; Calgary, AB, Canada....................we use the UPS global logistics folks @ UPS-SCS (supply chain solutions)

Also had good success with BaxGlobal to Paris and their ground shipping from there.

If all else fails I'd be happy to carry it for you. you'd just have to ship it to me and pay for my flight

check for "airport to airport" shipping prices, usually a lot cheaper than "door to door"

I'm working to set up a company to ship cars around the world on the airline that I fly, and a few others. I can't help you right now, but I'd suggest a company called Kobelfret right now. This is a Belgian shipping company that works out of Jacksonville and New York on the east coast, and ships into Zeebrugge, Belgium, which is 90 miles east of Brussels, 120 miles south of Amsterdam.

N!

Tarek, I'm thinking this is too large for one person so I'll volunteer to carry the other end.

small print: Happy to help but requires a prepaid ticket to Florida, ticket to France, another back to Florida and one more back to River City

"California Sparling Wine" would also work, although they might try to burn it..

How about: "blitzkrieg in a box" that might get them running for the hills.

Anyway. I will try BAX Global.
