Want to ship some flyers and brochures to my model T friends in Hungary but the prices have tripled since Brandon took office. Any help as to which company to use would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Frank

DHL is German based, maybe they'd be the cheapest. NONE of em are gonna be cheap as you know. I'd even try the good ol US Postal. That's how I sent a Fatman bracket to Australia, wasn't horribly expensive, just took horribly long! Customs, ya know! Even your shipment will undergo their scrutiny so it'll take a long time getting there.

Hope you might get it done but with the war in Europe increasing overseas shipping is going to get very expensive and increasingly difficult and take a long drawn out time. Just the way it is and probably going to get worse.
Other than humanitarian needs shipping non- essentials will get slower and slower.

I was quoted $36.00 by usps in November but did not have all the things to put into the package. Finally got everything together last Friday morning, was quoted $58.00 which I thought was too much. Broke down and said heck with it, it’s only money, went back in the afternoon Friday and it was $122.40. They told me that the war in Europe made the price jump. What a crock of ————-

Frank, Can you have the flyers and brochures scanned and then email them as PDF or similar files?

Great idea! If Frank needs any instructional help , I'll be gland to provide. Heck, if he doesn't have a scanner he can afford to buy one now
Another option might be to FAX it. Might check with FedEx or Office Depot to scan/fax options.
