Price Quotation for Parcel Shipping
By Jim Divoky

Most moving companies can handle pickup, packing and international
shipping.  See following link.  To locate local USA shipping and
mailing services including movers, air cargo, etc., see

http://www.citibay.com/citibay/subhome/packagetracking/localshipping/localshipping.shtml

For parcel shipping rates, go to http://www.intershipper.com  They
will give you rates for 8 shippers (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Airborne,
Emory, BAX, & AirNet.)

For USPS International Shipping rates, see http://ircalc.usps.gov/

For packing and shipping services, check http://www.mbe.com/    They
will package and ship for you but probably not pick up but you can ask.
I have used them a number of times and they usually pack pretty well
but they are pricey.

For international shipments you may want to consider a wooden crate for
valuable and fragile items.  I've gotten many shipments from Europe and
England where the cardboard shipping box was crushed.
