  1. I need to send a package to my son in Chile.I guess using someone like DHL or UPS,who have international networks,is the sort of company I need.
    Recommendations on who to use would be much appreciated.Not overly worried about cost.
    Thankyou

  5. I use transglobal express or parcel monkey. They are brokers and give you prices for DHL, UPS, TNT etc. Usually they are cheaper than going to the courier direct.

  7. DHL are pretty well up there. I use them a lot with work and we have an account so no idea what they charge but I don’t think it’s cheap.

  9. Ok used Fed Ex last week to post a radiator to Oz, amazing service it was delivered within 4 days intact. Then again I did wrap it like a Mummy.

  10. I've just started using Kuhne & Nagel as our brokers, their prices for FedEx to Texas on a shipment last week were almost half what we could get from FedEx direct.
    Also we had some issues with US Customs being dicks and K&N sorted it all for me.

  11. Mummies are much better at wrapping things than Daddies.

  13. +1 for FedEx as well. I’ve used them from America and thought they were very US biased. Didn’t realise they were big and accessible here too :):upyeah:
