Who knows air freight / international shipping?
« on: February 18, 2008, 07:01:50 PM »
This is a strange question, but I know we've got a knowledgeable and international contingent here...

As part of my day job, I'm assisting some folks from the caribbean who've flown up here to collect a relative's belongings.  Probably 3 to 5 moving boxes' worth, and our assumption is that UPS or FedEx will charge stratospherically.  DHL offers some sort of flat-rate "Jumbo Box" but I'm not sure what ballpark that's in.

So... I'm vaguely familiar with the existence of alternate air freight / air cargo services, but don't know specifics.  Back when I was considering this for my own move, I found Southwest, but they're of course US-only.

Anyone ever done this and have a carrier to recommend?  What are the chances of the DHL option being reasonable?
