Sergio,<div><br></div><div>My company typically uses Mainfreight for small international shipments, they in turn typically use FedEx, but at much better rates than we could ever get so we find it to be much cheaper than using our own UPS or FedEx. Atlanta number is (404)684-0626 call and let them know what you need to ship with the dims and weights and they can quote you.</div>
<div><br></div><div>One other possibility well worth consideration is to "go postal" on the shipment. You can get the rates and even save 5% on the shipping cost if you do it online at <a href="http://usps.com">usps.com</a>. International Priority Mail can be fairly reasonable and usually has little problem with customs.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Another option that probably won't work to Hati, is APO/FPO. This works great to a country where we have a military base, gratis Uncle Sam, you only pay the domestic postage rate. But to my knowledge, there is no US Military installation in Hati.</div>
<div><br></div><div>One final contact, Madgie Murray <a href="mailto:madgie4@aol.com">madgie4@aol.com</a>. She is a Hatian living in Norcross who might know of some economical means of shipping stuff there. Tell her Greg Clifton sent you.</div>
