I have purchased a Porsche engine and gearbox weighing around 300 kgs and need to ship it from Colorado to the UK. Any idea of firms that do this at a reasonable cost? FedEx is $4k!!

I had a trailer shipped to me from the UK via TNT and it cost me about 475 pounds.

If you can get it to Syracuse, NY before December 15th, I have a Bus I'm shipping to the UK. I'd be happy to ask the buyer if it could go along for the ride. I'm taking it to the port on the 15th. PM me if you're interested.
