I suggest you get price quotes from:

www.fedex

www.dhl.com

Your speakers need to be packed correctly to ensure safe delivery in Germany. Please review custom requirements, restrictions and possible fees for delivery to Germany. Make sure your selected shipper helps you through this process. You should also ask the shipper if Germany customs will require the package to be opened for inspection.

Just keep in mind that Fedex will probably use their own packaging, one box will become two and all of a sudden you're paying twice as much. Talking from experience....

I'd stay away from Lusitania Shipping Lines.
Not the best track record.

Programmer,

How did you wind up getting the speakers to Germany? What custom forms were required, and did they arrive quickly? Also need to send, but UPS is not very clear.
