I have a guy who wants me to get a quote to send a jet from NY to Malta Europe. Have any of you guys shipped international before? Who's the cheapest but safe?
Thanks

malta is a island

best thing to use is using a normal shipping by sea company.
let them calculate it for you..

or if wants dhl , measure the box use this formula : LxWxH devide by 6000 you have volume in kilo.
BUT max size of box is L+W+W+H max is 3000mm (milimeters).
1 thing is for sure shipping models by dhl , ups or fedex is a nightmare...

Brickyard,
I had good luck with this company. They handled everything for me and they weren't too expensive.

If the package is relatively small, nothing beats USPS International Priority Mail. If it is a large package, use a shipping company.

I used the USPS even the bigger boxes are cheaper sometimes even cheaper if you use the flat-rate boxes check it all

I was talking about large plane size boxes, those are usually cheaper to ship with a common carrier. However, with that being said, Fly Eagle sent me two GIANT boxes vis EMS/USPS and it was actually pretty good (according to the bill of lading).

Bottom line, when I can ship UPS, I do.

I have a box thats about 72x14x17, & UPS was about $840. USPS doesn't ship boxes over 60" long, but were a lot cheaper. So far seems like Igglobal was the cheapest at approx $320.
