Hi All,
Does anyone have any good suggestions for cheap international freight companies from Brisbane to anywhere internationally? Specifically for 45kg cartons sized at about 46 x 46 x 36cm? Just plastic goods inside. So far I can only find online prices for about AU$450 - $500. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Rgds,

Airfreight. Thanks mate, will have a look.
"Anywhere" could be any destination from New Zealand to Timbucktoo. You need to be a bit more specific if you want practical advice
My customers are global though. Alright, say, the UK.
45 kgs in a box that small with only plastic goods inside?
Plastic "headphones"
Nah - then he'd be advertising for young people wanting an all expenses paid trip around the world…
Headphones?
Yes - just plastic goods.. 2000 pieces @22 grams each. It adds up - 45kgs.
Ring around places for commercial shipping quotes and setting up an account. Let them know how often you plan to send stuff, you'll get much better rates than the online quotes if it's not a 'one off' package.

They're just a freight forwarder, they use companies like DHL, toll, etc to do the actual shipping.
Do you want airfreight or sea? I think Air is around $200/box, sea freight should be much less. Your boxes are quite heavy (compared to suitcases). Also depends on destination and how many boxes, etc
There's lots of similar companies around.
