     Hi Benjamin:

     I've had parts shipped from Germany, the Netherlands, the UK,
     Italy, New
     Zealand, Australia, and a few other places without any
     trouble, or
     unreasonable shipping rates.

And I would ask:  What carriers were used?  I just got two struts from
the UK and the shipper (an amateur, you understand, just like me)
couldn't find a carrier for less than $UKL60.  That is US$110 or so.
But FedEx and UPS (_and_ DHL) wanted half again as much.  I'd _love_ to
know of more economical carriers, and even those by slow boat that take
6 weeks.  I thought those slow carriers only took large freight
economically.

Michael
