Default International Shipping please help!!!!!!

Hi guys,

This is a fasicinating subject but I am totaly overwhelmed by it.

Have just bidded on a Larry Jolly Airwolf fuse ARTF 60-90 size for around $2300.

The owner lives in California and only wanted to deliver within the USA.

I live in Norfolk in the United Kingdom.

I have stated that I will pay for a crate to be made up as he said he can build one and also pay for shipping.

So Q.

How do I start the ball rolling.

Do I contact FedEx or UPS as they seem to be the best but not necessarily the safest option and get them to pick up the crate from his house and deliver tracked to the UK??????

I will get it insured obviously but again do FedEx etc insure also.
I guess I need to get the dims of the crate and weight before they can quote me. I'm expecting to pay at least $1000 to have her shipped and have little confidence she will get here in one piece from some horror stories.

If anyone is in the UK and reading this and has had a heli shipped from the States, please help advise me.

Many thanks and sorry for my ignorance here
Wayne
