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.

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.

Hi

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

I dont think USPS will ship a CAR! And with a CAR you can not avoid paying taxes.....
