On the engines, transmissions, doors, fenders etc, it is best to wait for a friend
to be bringing a container down, and pay him a for a share of his container space.
But I have brought some quite large boxes in via the US Postal Service.
They have a website for checking sizes/prices at:

I always tell vendors to forget about UPS or those other freight/courier
companies. Sure the parts get here real quick, but they are REAL expensive. I
bought the 55-58 DPCD 2 book parts manual from a vendor who sent it via UPS,
(Because I was green and didn't specify...and they had my credit-card number), and
it got down here in like 2 days, and cost around $200 for shipping. Yow! Won't do
that again...
Hope this helps.
