Try DHL usually 40% cheaper than Fedex, also mention you will take it to there depot. otherwise they will charge you for collection

Depending upon the size and the urgency, the cheapest method is via a container freight company.

Recenctly sent a Jordan side pod to China for £160. FedEx and the like were quoting £1,200, even though it only weighed 5kilos. Took a month to get there though!
