Shipping Agent USA to AUS - or what is the cheapest way to get items shipped.

[Jonesy]

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a well-priced shipping agent from USA to AUS?
Example:

I was looking on JEGS at Wilwood ProSpindles and to purchase a pair shipping was over $100 with no option for slow cheaper methods.

I used a guy in Melbourne years ago who imported Engines from the States to Australia by the container load. He basically charged per cubic meter. I bought a bunch of new stuff of ebay and had it shipped to his chap in LA who packs the containers. It must have taken 6 months to arrive but it only cost $40 dollars, as opposed to several hundred as most ebay sellers only use USPS. I cant remember his details.

Cheers

I sent some Pantera parts to a guy in Australia recently and he had me send them to JT Core Buyers, 4790 Mission Blvd, Montclair CA 91763. I don't have other contact details for them though.

I think there are a number of these type providers in the LA & Long Beach area.

Yes, shipping from here to there is expensive and slow. Sent a weber manifold there and it cost $100 and took several weeks via USPS.

I also used usatoaus as per flatchats note and they are great. I have a shipment on the way even now with fuel tanks from RCR.
