I have a customer in Dubai that wants a shipping quote on an exhaust. I'm afraid the box is going to be to big to use USPS, and have never used a freight forwarder before. I also have had a few people looking for AGIP oils, but that is a big fat NO with the post office lol.

I have a friend who did it for a living for 6 years....Recently quit to move back home (here)Only dealing with Australia though.....

Why don't you call fed-ex, USPS, UPS.... even the post office?Someone at those places should be able to help you.

I have found that goods from the US to AUS, are cheaper via UPS, compared to USPS and Fed-Ex.... just so you know... (it's how I got my strut brace for the Q45)

They aren't the cheapest freight company, but they're pretty reliable and they don't refute claims if anything happens right away.
