usps only seems to be mailing their own cartons witch is too small. im looking to mail something weighing around 33pounds/15kg

ridiculous prices for this kind of stuff :P
ups quotes me about 300$. dhl 1000$ Must be possible to get under 100$ for a package weighing 30pounds

DHL and UPS are the worst, I find, but that's from the USA to Canada, so who knows.

yes 30lbs will cost you

Hmm, that seems really high. I sent a carbon fiber bike (all parts) from the US to Ireland a couple years back (around 2002) and it was about $100. That was closer to 40 lbs.
Be careful, don't get ripped off.

hey if the place your work at. you know. has a fedex account. they get shipping waaaaaaaaaay cheaper. find out how much and if you can get billed by them instead. i think you can save 50% by doing that.
