Any recommendations for a company to send a small box with gifts from Orange County, CA to Medellin. UPS quoted on line $630 for a 30 lb package! Thanks.

If you send it to me in FL overnight than I may be able to have it delivered before Christmas.

$630 is ridiculous! It would be much cheaper finding someone traveling there to take it as their carry-on luggage. Unless the contents are irreplaceable, you could probably insure it for theft much less than $630, and that's only assuming whomever you get to take it for you absconds with it.

Lol a small box weighing 30 pounds is begging customs to open it.
How fast do you need it there is probably the key. What is weight and dimensions?

Wow, that's a rip-off. US$630 for a box measuring just over 2.6 inches x 2.6 inches x 2.6 inches???? (That's 18 cu ins).
And you couldn't even fit 30lbs in weight inside a box that small.
Have you tried the ordinary US postal service? We used to send parcels of biscuits/food/clothes etc, from England to Bogota for only about £5 (US$7.5, or COP$15,000). Ok, it took about 4 weeks from England, but $630???? They're having a laugh.

Suadel, like I said if you can get the packaged to FL, I will consolidate it with some things I am sending and the cost should be less than $150 including shipping, taxes, customs clearance and delivery to any address in Medellin. Normal time is 7 to 10 working days so there is a chance it may arrive before Christmas.
I have a shipment going every week so any time you want to send things, just let me know.

Try this one that came highly recommended on this or another forum: Giro Express of South Florida 7816 W Sample Rd. Margate, Fl. 33065 954-796-4646 Francia Beltrane speaks English. Costs $1.50 per lb. They will also repackage. Very nice lady!
