What are the best companies for shipping stuff internationally?
Im going to explore a business venture when im out in Aussie importing surfboards back to this country then selling them on. They are much much cheaper to buy out there
So far ive been quoted £35.5468 GBP for a parcel up to 10KG's and insured to the value of $400 which i thought was quite good. Im not sure if size comes into it - they only ask weight

when shipping stuff by airfreight which I guess you'll want to do it doesnt go by actual weight, it goes by dimensional weight. So will cost more than £35, plus dont forget you've got to pay VAT and taxes on the board aswell.
Your best bet is going onto the UPS website and seeing what it says on there. Once you know the dimensional wieght you can work out the price roughly!
