CONUS = continental US (48 states)

DHL is good in Asia/Europe and much better than UPS. FedEx is fine but not as good as DHL. Definitely insure more than just the sale value. This way, if pkg is lost, you get a little more $$ for the months of trouble filing and waiting for the claim.

I second BAX Global Irwin - they've handled a bunch of car items ($3-$5K Range) for me in the past...
