Advice on online shipping labels

I am shipping my JLTi phono preamp  to Australia to update it to the latest specs. After pricing at UPS, Fedex, etc, my wallet went into a panic attack from the expected onslaught of a $300+ shipping cost. I also found other 3rd party businesses in which I can get good discounted rates. An example is $75-$95 rather than the $300. I fill out the forms and print a shipping label. However I will assume its not as easy as taking it to the UPS store and paying the price.. But I like the $90 shipping an don't mind filling out forms. So far I have encountered

Pirate Shipping, Parcel monkey, Cool parcel and Online shipping Calculatorcom  which gives various choices of shippers

My question is which site would you recommend if either. Or what site can you recommend that you have used before. Keep in mind I am an old retired guy who doesn't know all the rules and do not do international shipping very much

Thanks for your help

I'm not trying to sell it. I'm upgrading it. This the need to ship. But if I were selling I'd agree with you

Thank you for the info. Glad you told me about USPS because I had pretty much determined to use them since they were only $116. The online shipping calculator .com and Pirate ship, both have good information from what I have seen. So I will look into that and call JLTi about possibly providing a shipping label if I pay them for it. I did that with Don Sachs when I sent my amp for upgrade and he got it much cheaper. Again thanks for your help
