What is the cheapest shipping? I have someone that wants to be a wholesaler for me in Denmark. But, I don't know what is the cheapest shipping company out there? I have a USPS just right around the corner, but they don't offer tracking and insurance. right?

I allways felt that free shipping is the cheapest.

I guess some of the danish members will give you a better answer.

You can get insurance from USPS but not tracking, nor will they do a signature card that is mailed back to you outside the US (and Canada?). I would go the USPS route since insurance is good enough protection and easier to claim and receive than with UPS.

UPS and Fed Ex are too costly in my opinion to use for wholesale shipping overseas. A seven pound package to Nigeria (cough; another story for another thread) costs $175 USD. The post office will deliver it for somewhere in the $40-$50 range. There's really no better solution and the post office hasn't let me down yet (three years and running).
