I would prefer to buy locally rather than from overseas if possible. Chasing the door panels, rear seat delete and the wing.

Hi all,
I saw this post and thought I'd chime in. Unfortunately for you guys in Australia, I have not found any inexpensive way to ship to you from the USA.
The problem is the size of the packages, since all my parts are pretty big (door panels, wings, rear seat delete, etc). Using the US Postal Service
it costs $285 and transit time is around 3 days. I've checked many of the other carriers like FedEx, UPS, and DHL, and they're all far higher than
the USPS price.
The only good thing is that the weight of the package is not really a consideration since it is so big and my parts are so light. If I max out the
allowable package size, I can ship any combination of drag wings, rear seat delete, and/or door panels up to a total quantity of 3 in the same box
for the same shipping cost of $285. If you had a couple of friends that also wanted door & quarter panels or a drag wing, you could share the
cost of the shipping, since whether I ship 1 panel set or ship 3 panel sets, it'll still cost $285 in shipping charges.
Lastly, any of the Package Deals on this page could also be shipped for $285: http://www.bigwigracecars.com/products/intlship.htm The total price would be the discounted price of the Package Deal +
$285 to ship.
I'm just trying to give you some more options to help offset the terrible shipping cost.
If you need any more info, or if you want to place an order, let me know.
waaagh

To be honest $285 isn't that bad (for me at least). I've been charged more than that by local freight companies to get things sent from locations in
my own state.
