Shipping wheels and tires to Italy?

Bonez off of here bought a set of Cragars and tires from me and I gotta ship them out, I'm getting ridiculously high quotes from FedEx UPS and the USPS, do any of you guys have any ideas to help save the poor guy some money?

Each box is 24x24x8 inches and 35 lbs.

They're going from Florida to Italy.

 

I have always used UPS to go to europe. If your gonna play you gotta pay!

 

I've also found that the USPS is always the cheapest way to go. I see he will be paying $129 per box, plus whatever the importation duty is on them. If he has an American friend in the military over there it would be a lot cheaper shipping to an APO address.

 

Thanx Nads, thats a nice idea from you to do this.
Seems that Ratatat got the right one, or pretty close, my memory from the smoothies
was around 100 x wheel but w/out tires so i guess it could be it.
I wish i had a friend at a military base, it would make a few things easier!
My guess is that it cant be done cheaper than this but knowin this place someone might just prove me wrong!
Thanx again, and to all that will help.

 

Try DHL for a quote; don't know if they'll be any cheaper. As I remember, DHL has the most extensive network outside the U.S.

 

I don't think D H L "plays" in the U. S. any more.................But I could be mistaken.....

 

I believe DHL does international only from the US so its worth checking out.

 

Well, there ya' go!
