Howdy. Has any1 here shipped or know anything about shipping from the U.S (particularly the west coast)? Costs? etc etc.....im after a thing and i have contacted a few sellers who are willing to help me out. Any info would be great.

Yeah - done heaps of it. Most I can recall paying was US$80 and that was new struts and some other heavy bits for a 5 Series and generally I pay around $60 or so.

Key issue is to keep the order under Aus $1,000 incl freight - otherwise you are up for import duty - and if you get two shipments at same time, can still get stung. USPS is the best way to get it sent. Takes 5-7 days.

You got me excited, but i new it was too good to be true.....I should have made myself clear. i ment shipping whole vehicles. I guess it will cost more than 80$.

Thx for ya help tho.

I am going to be bringing a 20 or 40 ft in in the next few months and can probably help you out. I am going to be putting a "thing" of my own in it.

Should be shipping from Florida and I will be there packing it so it will be safely done.

Hey Brad,

Do you have dates for your FL trip?

thanks,
Andrew

Hi

Use USPS, they have an online cost checker that works well, keep your purchases under $1000 to avoid donating $$ to Wayne.
