The best shipping method is normally USPS depending on the weight. If time is a factor Fed ex has some pretty good rates for expidited shipping. We have shipped to Finland,Norway,Sweden,Germany, & the UK quite a few times. To protect yourself Paypal or a CC is your best bet. Being out of the country I wouldn't send Money orders.
There are also brokerage companies that get better deals shipping. They normally ship in Bulk. In other words your parts & other items heading to Finland would be on the same shipment. I checked in with a few of them & the rates we were getting wasn't much better then we are getting now thru Fed Ex. It also took a little bit longer.

I just mailed a few small parts to Finland a few weeks ago & was surprised that the Postage Rates were not that bad. Padded envelope with some springs, roller button etc was just under $10 from Canada.

LOL David just sent some parts to a friend of mine in Norway, not Finland. The catch is the claimed value of the parts from what I've seen. I've sent parts to Tor in Norway myself and am sending more to him now. The prices really aren't that bad if you can put the parts in a priority box. If bigger than that then it will cost more of course.:biggrin:

Now Thats what i am talking about!!!
If the goods and shipping is under 100$ no custom fees.

If goods and shipping is more here is the fees..
example:

heads 1600+shipping 200$=1800$
1800$+custom fee 10%+tax 23%= total 2435$

=robbery!!!!!

We can do the same thing I'm doing for Tor and Futten. Send the parts here and I'll pass them on as a "gift" which should cut some of the shipping and exsize fees.
