Ozzy members who do you use for shipping OS

I am planning to put an item up for sale on Audiogon for the first time but am not sure who I should use for shipping as I know from just shipping within Australia it can be very expensive.
I want to be reasonably confident that the equipment will arrive safely but don't want the cost to be prohibitive to the buyer.Any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance
Tony

I just mentioned DHL on another thread. Imo, they are the best. Ground or air.

Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for your response.
I have purchased many large items such as speakers on Audiogon from America and the shipping cost has not been as expensive as you may think.
The problem with trying to sell locally is that it is such a small market.
You never know if I put the Pre Amp on Audiogon I may get someone from Asia or Australia but I was just trying to cover all bases.
Cheers
Tony

Another vote for DHL........although it's hard for a private indivual to get anything out of them without having an Account?
If you go to your local Pack & Send......they will be able to get a reasonable price from them to anywhere in the world.
Otherwise try sending it via EMS at the local post office if it's not larger than an amp or turntable.
EMS is often as fast as FedEx or UPS for a half the cost?

I don't have an account. I just walk in with the package and pay. Different policy in Canada?
