Wanted - anyone shipping stuff from the States??

[Mystery Machine]

Norm has very kindly tracked down some wheels for me in the States which I would like to buy. To have them shipped to the UK is going to cost nearly double the cost of the wheels in the first place!!

If anyone has a container or other items being shipped over soon, please let me know and I may ask if I can add to the shipping for some extra money your way.

Alternatively, if anyone has any tips on getting a really cheap flight then I might consider flying out to get them myself LOL.

Many thanks,

Bruce.

Haha, I think we're both as broken as each other - I've got family in the USA and my main motivation for going to see them would be to come back with a couple of suitcases full of airbags. Closely followed by In-n-Out burger, and then coming a distant last is the actual experience of visiting California.

Also try the Originals Hot Rod Supply shop. The guy who runs in has regular containers coming over he might be able to chuck em in one for some cash monies.

Thanks Matt,

Russ at R&R has given me a price of £135 which includes shipping & duty.....so this is working out just a little bit better than the original £270 for shipping which didn't include duty!! (which would have taken things the price to well over £300!!)

The downside is that I have to wait a bit longer....but all good things come to those who wait. So I hear

All I need to do now is work out the offset that I want to run then get back to Norm who is acting as my purchaser on the other side of the pond. AWESOMES!

Thanks guys....this might just work!

in the netherlands, they do something like the pony express for ebay germany, and only just starting to offer the same for the US.

Huifkar means something like trek cart/covered wagon according to google.

Maybe you can get in contact with the people and find out how it works. If they only deliver in the Netherlands, i'd be happy to collect and bring them over to you!

thats what Tash did with her Ercos!

Looks like you got it sorted now mate, but if you still need someone to ship across to the UK for you then let me know dude. I have details somewhere of the guy who sorted my Beard seats - bargainous!

Hmm, wonder if this would work to get some yank-only OEM bodykit for me '12 ?

There is a chap over on the mustang forum that ships in loads of bits in his regular container shipments, gave me some good quotes for shipping in big stuff like doors..

i could get you some contact details if you're not sorted already...?
