Freight forwarders from the US

Hi, can anyone recommend a freight forwarder from the US to Australia. I am trying to buy Honda parts but they seem to be as backward as dealing with the UK. Nobody seems to ship outside their own country. I still don't get why they can't write my address on the package and charge me for postage. Anyway.........
 
Thanks in advance
 
Craig.

Yanks love Fedex and UPS.  If you book the shipment online the suppliers are usually OK with that,

Mate i use Shipito.com for all things moderately sized.
It is dead easy to use, provide pictures etc, give shipping options and the service is excellent.

Thanks guys, I stumbled upon shipito but wondered if they were any good. You know how small businesses parade themselves as massive on their websites. If the dealers freight falls through I may have to give them a try. I found that genuine Honda parts in the US are about a third the price that we get charged. The Great Australian Gouge. No wonder I refer to them as stealerships!

I do the same for any parts i need for the mrs BMW. US prices even including postage is way cheaper than here!

To give you an idea using Shipito. Most boxes/parcels are about $50-100 shipping. And this is 2-4 day TNT express. Slower shipping usually isn't much cheaper anymore so isn't really worth it.
