Try United States postal Service
http://www.usps.com/ ... a lot cheaper than FedEx and the like.

that weight will be the killer..
How urgent - if not urgent go sea freight, upto 6 weeks but will be cheapest.
you can goto that Usps site and a freight calculator, but sit down when you punch in the weight and hit GIMME A QUOTE...

Do you mean
http://www.rmp-o.com/ site?
Who do I take to?
No urgency to get the parts 6 weeks+ is ok.
Tried the usps site but I cann't get a price on multiple boxes or maximum weight.

Yeah thats him, I don't know his name but when he startrd a OL he gave us a big speil about the G60's which was pretty interesting, in the midst of thet he said he was an importer/exporter based in the States.
Heve a look at his website & tell him your from OL & he should help you. Havnt seen him here much since he started his own forum.
If you have no luck then at least his site is worth a look.

Unless you can work a deal to get the stuff on a container, for items less than 44 lbs. (20 Kg) each, the USPS slow-boat is the cheapest option I know of. If any of your 3 packages are over 20 Kg, you can only use air which is at least twice the cost. The other big carriers (UPS, FedEx, DHL etc.) all offer air only at similar rates.

Don't forget the 15% duty on the converted price as well as the 10% GST added to the combined total of purchase, duty and freight.
That can be a bummer.
