Try United Parcel Service. Expect to be stunned by the cost. I recently had a couple of fibreglass wing root fairings for a BD5 shipped in from the USA. They weighed about 5 kilos and the package was 2 metres long. It cost $929.

Where are they going
How are they packed
What are the exact external dimensions
How quickly do you want them there and who is paying for customs clearance, duty, taxes etc.
What are they worth. Do you want insurance

Get me all these details and I'll get you a quote for sea and air
