    Australia is not too perfect in delivery cost.

    I have been trying to send an umbrella and antenna to the uk.
    Aus Post won't touch it as the umbrella is too long. ( normal golf style umbrella. In fact ARB one)

    And others have quoted mad prices

    Cheapest I have had for across the sea with up to 12 delivery $190. So the cost from uk to here are cheap compared to send stuff over to there.

    Still looking for a company to send it to the uk.
    So any suggestions would be great. Not in a rush but don't want to spend twice the pice it is with to ship it.

    Rolls Royce elec motor for a bow thruster for a naval vessel. Funny thing is I know how it was damaged, a few years earlier working as a commercial diver I worked on the same vessel repairing the same thruster when they hit "something" inthe water. Something was big enough and heavy enough to gouge the hull plates stem to stern.

    The origin was alluded to...

    Lets just say it arrives every so often at random intervals and at night may be hard to spot.

    Not those. Far more of them arrive, to much more fanfare and with much larger crews/passengers in a far from seaworthy state.

    That's a good price, I had a ZF Transmission sent from Luton UK, to Dubai £195 all in via DHL air freight.

    Tried Interparcel ? Having suffered the same problem with Aus Post about the sizing (has to fit in their 1.05m long crate apparently) I tried Interparcel. Got some fairly reasonable quotes through them in the end.

    Using the link from the above post I hade a quote done replicating an order I got recently from UK. Their quote was $245

    The package I received was sent with DHL and it was 50 pound, which is about $75.
