I am trying to get some bumpers shipped from the UK but am having a hard time with finding someone to ship a package that big. Any ideas? The weight isn't a problem-it's the dimensions. Please email at
Tmbracing61@msn.com
Thanks, Andrew

Try air cargo, I had my bumpers shipped from Germany via Lufthansa, so try whatever airline goes from the UK to your destination.

If it can not be sent by mail I get parcels shipped using DHL. Good luck.

UPS Freight Service will do it as well. We are a subsidiary of UPS Small Package and handle all of the "freight" shipping for UPS.

BTW, I don't tend to support DHL as they have a monopoly on shipping in their own country (Germany) sponsored by the country's government. Pretty unfair if you ask me.

Good luck,
Stefan

Not to start a war, I do not support UPS do to high prices, and bad service.

No problem. To be honest, we were bought by UPS and I can tell you from experience that any problems you might have with them is not intentional as everyone I've spoken to tries to do a good job. They are just so damned big that their red tape and lack of communication is really a huge issue and something they are constantly working on.

I was just offering up an alternative suggestion. Like I said though DHL is not well liked in the industry, their tactics and service is actually worse than most from my own personal experience and from speaking to people who are not affiliated with UPS or FedEx (the running gag around the office is that if FedEx and UPS merged the new company would have to be called FedUP! LOL)
