I am planning to send my 40 inch Samsung LCD TV from New Zealand to India. What is the cheapest way to send? and how much it can cost… its volume will be around 1058 x 240 x 672 mm? I don’t mind if shipping takes some time I mean 10-15-20 days… but I want it at cheaper rate. Can anyone please help me?

You could try the cargo wings of airlines that fly to both countries like Singapore, malaysia and royal brunei airlines. You’d have to pick it up at the Indian airport and it’d probably go via an Asian airport, but could be cheaper than the big cargo companies. There might be cargo ships from Darwin or Perth to mumbai, which would be slower, but cheaper. India’s a very cheap place, so it may be cheaper to buy a new one when you get there, but take of insurance on any cargo services you use

My husband just moved to Banagalore India for work and we went through this exact same process! After doing A LOT of looking around, we ended up going through FedEx but going via a freight broker – We used http://www.worldfreightbroker.com – their rates were less than half of those of going through FedEx or UPS directly yet we had the security of the FedEx reputation and insurance policies. Essentially freight brokers just have a massive freight shipping discount with the big freight companies due to bulk buying and resell the freight to you at a fraction of the cost you would pay if you went direct to the larger freight companies.
