Max D. replied:
if you can load yourself find a local company who can order a 20 ft container. Get them to drive to your place, load in the boxes etc there is usually 2 hours wait time included or X per hour for the driver to wait whilst loading. Then the same company can drop off at the port with the paperwork. The container then goes to bremerhaven. Then you can call a company like http://www.awt.eu/en to deliver to prague. Probably saves yourself 1000's doing it this way

I am using Dr. Hauschka too. Or you can have a look in the shop Biooo.cz in Kotva (ground floor) - they have a big choice of natural and organic cosmetics including some decorative cosmetics as well. Their website (in Czech) is: http://www.biooo.cz/bio-kosmetika/liceni/

There's also a shop at Narodni Trida that carries Hauschka and a lot of other "green" skincare products. It's just past Raffeisen Bank down the little alley alongside the construction zone. The staff there has always been really friendly and quite helpful.

I use only Czech Post and have literally shipped over 600 parcels in and outside of Europe and have never had a problem. I use their registered priority service which is 247 kc for 500+1000 g and it includes tracking and insurance. With the exception of France, where parcels hangout in Paris for weeks it takes less than a week for delivery in Europe, including Eastern Russia. Perhaps it's the workers in your post and you should try a different one? I'm sorry you're having problems. That sucks, I have an eshop as well and can totally understand your frustration.

Any advice/experiences with shipping luggage to US? Cheap needed, very slow is fine.
Alex U. replied:
CzechPost has some sort of economy option -- pricing is on their website. It's the "non-priority" option way at the bottom. I BELIEVE she told me it was by the high seas last time I did this, but that was probably just accomplished by me doing a weird, loud "NA LODI??"" sort of line of questioning and likely playing charades for a boat bobbing on the sea just to ensure I got the cheapest option. Heres the price list. https://www.ceskaposta.cz/documents/10180/450912/Cen%C3%ADk+-+Standardn%C3%AD%20 bal%C3%ADk+do+zahrani%C4%8D%C3%AD-EN.pdf/baa5 cc8 c-65 ae-4 fa4-aafd-c8 d012329 b09
