Cheapest way to ship to Canada?

[neilrr]

A 190 enthusiast from Canada wants to buy some RHD W201 headlights. The local Post Office quoted £80 by air or £60 by ship, which will take "2 or 3 months"!!!!

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I could ship them for less?

TIA.

Try www.postvan.com or www.parcel2go.com. The former is better than the latter.

you should be able to send something like this for £35 International Standard Parcel

I assume its over 2kg.... in which case the price goes high, but shouldnt be as much as you quoted. i imagine that this is for standard Royal Mail Airmail - its "INternational Parcel" you need to send it by....

hope this helps. i send computer systems etc to america often for about £35 and they weigh about 3kg,,,,,

How about a large bottle and a cork ? Should take about 6 months...

Go to a Freight forwarder who deals with Canada. Ask them what it would cost in a consolidated load.
FF's book a whole container or pallet with airlines ona regular bais and buld up the load from dufferent customers. Should be relatively cheap.

Only they don't bother with the cork.

The parcel2go deal, under 10 kgs + under 4 cubic feet for £36 looks like the best so far. Thanks.
