usually when we ship things, we use those flat rate priority boxes, but we have to ship something to austrailia and those boxes are only good in the u.s.
what's the cheapest way to ship over-seas? fed-ex? ups? regular mail? the package weighs around three pounds if that helps at all.
i kinda need to know by the end of the week.

Dunno what the best way to ship it would be, but I usually just use regular post to ship overseas. I don't know why, but it always takes forever to get stuff there on my end, but whenever I'm getting anything, it comes pretty quickly...and I always pick the middle of the road (not crazy fast overnight or a month by boat). Hmmm...

Cheapest is probably USPS but you get what you pay for.

If how and when it gets there is of any concern, use FedEx.

(No, I don't work for FedEx, we just use all the shipping companies here at work and FedEx is the best.)

I don't know about Fed-Ex, but I sent a bunch of CDs to Australia (probably a 2lbs or so) USPS and it cost about $8 to be there in "5 days." Really, it was more like 2 weeks+.
