Recommend a shipper to Europe/France

[oddgrowth]

I have someone who wants me to ship a JCM 800 Bass Series amp to them in Lavaur, France. >>> 80lbs, (dims 32x12x12)

I've run numbers through UPS, DHL, and Fed Ex with a company discount. Even the "discount" seemed nominal.

I cannot find any rate under $400 and some change.
I'm pretty sure the duties are included, but this still seems excessive to me. Am I missing something?

Any suggestions?

thanx in advance.

From where?

as an alternative route, you could check with a commercial freight forwarder to air-freight the amp in a consolidated shipment to france.
Check listings near your nearest airport for forwarding companies...

They all have got a minimum charge, how much differs considerably. Actual freight US airport to Europe major airport I would guesstimate in the region of $3-4/lbs...

Might be worthwhile your effort. Good luck !
