Nothing at all. Even checked it out already just to see the cost
difference.

I guess I wasn't clear in my original post. The container belongs to the
fellow that the R-388 is going to. He sent it to me with a receiver inside,
it needs to be returned with the R-388, hence the request for air freight
experience.

Sorry about that.

DHL was an option a couple years back, before they filed for bankruptcy
protection or some such thing here in the states. They were still doing
business overseas into the US, though. They actually cleared it through
customs for me. I did see one of their vans yesterday, so perhaps things
have improved. They were always a much cheaper alternative to FedEx or UPS.
