For a shipment of 200lbs, I'd say that Hyde Shipping in Medley FL is gonna by your best bet by FAR... talk to Benny or Nelson there... they have a vessel that leaves FL every thursday, arriving in BZE Sun/Mon... If you can ship from a commercial address in CA, talk to Roadway, Yellow, etc about shipping one pallet of 5 cartons less than load (full truck)... should be relatively cheap. RE: Hyde, ask them for their best rate, explaining it's donated goods... with the BZE landing charges, Miami handling, etc, I can't see it costing more than $200 or so once it gets to Miami (we just shipped down 2 pallets, 1100 lbs, for about $400.00 US$.

I may have found someone that can do the 5 cartons from Houston. Might not get there when we get there, but it's hopefull! I work for a company that ships Roadway all the time and we get a great discount, but not international, so we'll see! We are still looking forward to a fun trip regardless, so thanks all for your help! It means so much to us!

Thanks TQ, we appreciate your generosity. We are getting a lot of different advice, and will surely get the boxes there if we have to carry them there ourselves! smile

TQ, the only thing I found to be a problem (my mom get's 75% off FED EX too) is that it has to be on express. It can not be regular or ground Fed Ex so when I was moving here a 20 lb box was going to be like $150 still with the 75% off...so I sent it express fex ex within the states and a good friend was kind to bring it to me.
