    Thanks folks. I posted this in the Germany thread as well.

    I have a 308 exhaust I’m trying to bring to USA from Germany. I had contracted a freight forwarder that turned out to be a scammer. Good thing I checked everything before paying.

    Does anyone know a reliable shipper that can pack, forward and ship an exhaust from a residential address in GE for delivery to USA? Surely someone’s done something like this before?

    Thanks, in advance!

    Hi Will,

    DHL would not work? Why?

    I would think you could set it all up online with UPS or FedEx

    I checked DHL on line and they did not not offer personal shipping for the item size and weight I need. I’ll call them directly if they have been used before. It’s a dry sump exhaust so it’s 100 x 130 x 30 which is a weird size for sure. I had one shipped previously from South Africa several years ago, but then the gentleman I bought it from set it all up through a company I had never heard of...

    Morning Will,
    USPS should do the trick, that's what I use.

    While not completely impossible, it's difficult to use USPS in Germany.

    Will; you could look into www.transglobalexpress.com
    It's no courier but a platform which compares available couriers - like DHL, UPS, FedEX, USPS and others, and can give you a quote.

    I’ll check that. Similar multi quote platform is how I got the scammer quote. Thanks, Martin.
