Least cost way to send amp to USA from Belgium?


Hi All,
What's the least cost, but dependable, way to ship an amplifier from Belgium to the United States? The lowest price I've come up with so far is around $160 through UPS, and that seems a bit much since it only weighs 35 lbs. Any suggestions?
Thanks and happy listening!

Depending on how much the amp is worth, it maybe wise to ship it UPS Priority (guaranteed 2-3 day service) versus Expedited. It will probably cost double but will spare the unit of extra wear and tear during shipping. I had a pair of speakers shipped from Europe (90 lbs each) and it not only took eight long days, but when it arrived the boxes look like it had survived an ordeal. Luckily, the speakers were well packed and came out in great condition. In any event, when shipping internationally, careful packaging, double-boxing and insurance is highly recommended.

I have had excellent experiences with Airborne, DHL and Fedex International. Airborne and DHL will be more cost-effective. Fedex is more expensive but IMO I have found them very reliable.
