Since ST knows all: what's the best way to send a package of around 50lbs to Europe?

Posted by celedhring May 20 '10, 20:42

UPS doesn't seem to accept anything over 20lbs, and FedEx will cost an arm and a leg. I particularly don't care when it gets there as long as it does.

The stuff in question is mostly clothing. I'm moving back to Spain this summer and I can't carry all my stuff with me.

Is DHL still around? Why can't you send 3 smaller boxes instead of one huge box? -- nm - zeitgeist May 20, 20:48 8
- Mmmm... just found out on USPS website that they seem to accept up to 70lbs packaging instead of just 20... I'll just go there and ask tomorrow. -- nm - celedhring May 20, 20:56 2
  - it will cost a lot, just so you know. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 21:03 1
    - oops. I read this as UPS. USPS will be cheaper. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 21:05
- DHL is not still around - pixie krakow May 20, 20:50 4
  - There are freight consolidators that charge by the square footage, who will containerize a load and send it to whereever but that might take months -- nm - zeitgeist May 20, 20:59 2
    - I will send my winter clothes then. - celedhring May 20, 21:03 1
      - it might be worth paying extra luggage fees. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 21:04
  - I think they were bought out by FedEx. -- nm - Fuzzy May 20, 20:54
USPS I mean, not UPS. -- nm - celedhring May 20, 20:43
