It looks like I've got to send the inverter for my wind turbine back to America for repairs, it's 70cm x 60cm x 25cm approx and I'm guessing about 100kg, anybody got any recomendations for carriers?

I had to send an inverter for my turbine to Italy for repair, was astonished how cheap it ended up being.
Went on google and searched for some of the parcel sites, you input details, size weight etc and they will come up with a list of possible options, can't remember now but I think it was parcelmonkey I ended up using, but there are heaps, can check if you want.
Parcel went with Parcelforce for a lot less rhan the Parcelforce website price. Just be sure and be accurate with size and weight.

Yep, I sent a very heavy pile of stuff to the States last year, LP's, singles and motorcycle spares for a Brazilian guy. 'kin heavy... Parcel Monkey came through with the best price especially when Insurance was factored in. Get it properly packed and ready to go, before looking for prices, as the polystyrene etc soon bulks up a parcel.
