Any bright ideas on how I can ship an Oxygen concentrator to India at a reasonable rate. FedEx is asking for ~$600 which is only little lower than a one way plane ticket. USPS might have been bit cheaper, but they will most likely damage it in the transit (also their last mile connectivity is through local post offices, which have worst services). It weighs around 8 Kgs.

I’m sorry you’re having to ask this question. Hope your loved ones are safe, recovered, or on the mend. Where are you shipping from?

I came across this on fb in a group if it helps.

They are offering free shipping and can collect it from their warehouses in India once reached.

Op I'm guessing you're doing this as a precautionary measure?
If not and you need immediate oxygen please dm me - can help out in delhi at least - maybe you can get it transported from Delhi?

@mention fedex on their twitter account- everyone wants to help. They may also designate it as essential medical supplies - giving it priority and special handling.

Will be difficult since oxygen is considered a dangerous good, normally individual tanks aren’t shipped rather large quantitites.

Beware that there there's a high chance this will go conveniently missing at customs given the current situation in India.

Thank you all for your suggestIons and concern. Yes, it was more of a precautionary measure as my whole family back in India tested positive, but are currently recovering. Based on what I heard here and from others, most likely this will get stuck/damaged/stolen while awaiting customs clearance. Will let you all know if I come across any other ideas. Thank you all again

Thanks, it is an Oxygen concentrator, a machine which concentrates oxygen from atmospheric air. Not an technical expert, but I assume the machine does not have any Oxygen stored inside.

Yeah, they will be empty when you ship if they're like the Inogen units.

I can kick in some money for shipping if needed.
