fedex and ups ship only two day air from germany to the u.s., which is not
affordable. deutsche post is cheap but limits to 44pounds. above that, i
think there is only partial container load, which i dont know the prices of.
if you figure something else, let me know.  as i have just moved from
germany to the u.s., quite a bit of  my stuff is still awaiting
transport..........so far my trick was to distribute one 50pound suitcase to
every wedding guest... but that method is kind of exhausted now:-)
