[Shop-talk] shipping international

[eric at megageek.com]

First, STAY AWAY FROM "FREIGHT CENTER .COM"!!!!!!!  They will be all nice 
to you and quote you a cheap price.  Then, once it's delivered, they will 
hit you with all kinds of extra fees and charges.  I weight everything 
before it ships and they tried to tell my one of my pallets was over 
100LBS more than it really was!

Here is the best way to do it.  Call UPS Freight (I guess do this for 
Fedex as well.)  Tell them that you want to open a commercial account. 
Then tell them that you know you will get about a 65% discount on the 
rates.  It might take a few calls, but they will deeply discount their 
rates for freight shippers.
