DirtyBoy Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hey all you builders and shippers out there....Ive been noticing a pretty substantial increase in shipping costs lately. Mainly with the international stuff. Just wanted to let you guys know to be prepared for "SHIPPING" shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Versku Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Anyone have a recommended carrier for posting parcels from UK worldwide ? I've heard of parcel2go.com and transglobalexpress but have never used them. Would dearly love to avoid Parcelforce if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper1 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Man, I would love to find one as well. You are correct. Shipping Pauldrons a year ago, was around $25.00, now its $35.00- $40.00 Ghee!!! Nothing like getting shafted all at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
