The shipping will be way over 50lbs...that was just the 'base' package I was using for quotes.

Yeah but still my company probably ships hundreds of human unknowningly so unless you have a container of stuff, you're better off googling and shopping around still

I will not have a full container. Move 'home moves' would not use a full container anyway.

How big is the box? If they are dense objects usps priority flat rate boxes are a good deal.

I love how people actually try to give somewhat helpful answers, and he responds the same as when people fuck with him like most of us do.
LOL
I thought people would know better by now.

Your answer was unhelpful, like I said in the past please excuse yourself from my posts since you are only trolling.

It makes me happy that you lost the car in the divorce

gained a fucking trophy wife so I am happy.

I will buy a $40k or more car in a couple years.

Hope your heart can handle that, bro.

kthx to you too.

I am indeed going through a divorce that finalizes 3/6. Got to ship her shit as part of the agreement.

Get a life, bro.

I will be on a beach with the love of my life all next week.

I would suggest you find help or prove where I have been wrong.

Do you have to air them(im assuming yes since prices quoted are obviously air freight)

If not though look into surface freight prices they will be alot lower.

And you will save even more money if you have a broker to handle the customs paperwork.

i shipped 5 large boxes and two paintings across the country via ups and it cost $750, to ship to japan would probably cost many times that. id call up the ex and offer her a couple thousand dollars cash to not make you ship it all. a lot of personal stuff would be cheaper to buy again new than to ship

That was explored and it's a combination of her both wanting everything she owns as well as punishing me financially a bit.

Her ticket to Japan I had found for $610 on US Airways, she insisted on using their partner JAL at $1400 for the same type of plane and flight times or she wasn't going to leave.

I asked the guys in the office, so they suggest using freight forwarder, basically they're small brokers that sells space in containers.. i dont know where you are but if you're in the east coast, there's a bunch in newark nj

I google "frieght forwarder" and it came back with a lot of service. See if these fit you
