Hello all,

Who do people use to ship internationally? I'm in the UK and need to ship to Denmark but some couriers won't carry amplifiers (TNT for example). If anyone has had good or bad experiences I'd appreciate the advice. Obviously it needs to be insured and ideally not cost an arm and a leg!

Thanks

 

Dave

B&O use UPS but Lifestyle AV have just moved from UPS to DPD. The DPD shipped item I got from Lifestyle AV was perfect. Some companies also have restrictions on anything glass so beware.

UPS (don't their trucks look smart) but make sure you let them know the exact weight and dimensions for international packaging as I had a nasty handling and fuel surcharge when sending to Italy...

we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.

Thanks everyone - it's really helpful to get your advice!

It looks like going for UPS via Parcel2go or Interparcel will be the most economic (but reliable) option.

@joeyboygolf - which UPS service do you use through Interparcel, the standard or express?
