International Shipping
I wasnt sure where to put this, but seeing as how XM is an international company, maybe I will get an answer here.
Whats the best way to ship something International? I have a 27lb package, 31L18W15H and using UPS or FedEx is outrageous. I'm talking north of $500 USD. I mean, I paid like $150 for XM's Cap to come to me and that box is much larger than the one I'm sending. I know Simply Toys probably gets a hefty discount for being a business but christ all mighty thats a lot of money.
Also, has anyone heard of NEX Worldwide express? They gave me a good rate, but its a company I've never heard of so I'm not sure of that.

The package is to big. To go to Singapore, the length plus girth cant be bigger than like 70 some odd inches, and mine is 90+.

Usually FedEx, or a courier like that, is your only option.

Lol. I adjust the size down until it is accepted. Hasn't been an issue yet.

Uggg. I just checked all the FedEx, UPS and DHL routes and they are all just to much. I'm afraid I'm going to have to refund his money and tell him the sad news. Such a waste. My last hope is I've read USAA has a nice discount option with FedEx. So I called FedEx and gave them my account number and told them I was a USAA member. Waiting for their call back to see what that discount might be.
Thanks guys.

Don't worry, you can send your package through USPS.....just do it. I do, all the time with no problem.

I took mine to the post office and she declined it. How are you guys getting it through? She said it was a Singapore thing and they wouldn't accept it.
