What shipping outfit is best to ship overseas those SIDESHOW oversized boxes?

What shipping outfit is best to ship overseas those SIDESHOW oversized boxes?

All morning I have gone to pages like DHL, UPS, etc and those rates are very very very costly. International buyers really have to dig deep. I need a source of a shipping outfit that could benefit the international buyer as much as possible. Anyone one please ? I am shipping to SINGAPORE.

I always use USPS Priority International Mail. It's the cheapest however even if you print out the postage at home, it's best to add the extra insurance when you get to the PO.

Also, you gotta make sure it's not too big that it doesn't fit into the window otherwise they won't accept it & you might have to use UPS/FedEx/DHL.

Even if you print out the postal label at home you can still add insurance online. You don't have to do anything at the post office as they will even come pick it up.

I have been told that if it doesn't fit throught the representative's window than they cannot accept it. These boxes are so oversixed.

Ouch! It's a horrible thing these oversized boxes! Kills most hopes of ever owning much of anything cool.
