Shipping parts from USA -> Europe, Can anyone get a shipping quote? Options

[Illyont]

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone could get a shipping quote on a standard cat-back exhaust from USA -> Europe? I'm having a hard time finding someone who can sell me the A'PEXi GT exhaust and ship it, without _insane_ shipping costs.

Found a "company" on Ebay but they wanted about 1000$ US for shipping alone. When the actual product is only 400$ the total just isn't worth it imo.

Another solution is if someone in Europe (maybe even UK) know of any shops who can get a hold of the A'PEXi GT exhaust for an FD.

If its a big box - and shipping with AIRMail - yes it will cost a lot but NOT 1000$ lol
My guess would be it would cost 400$ AT most with the airmail.

But if you go ground mail - it might be only about 150$. Companys ussualy charge alot cuz of the hastle and they are not intended to ship it with USPS Airmail or ground mail - they ussualy go with UPS or DHL or etc..

What I was thinking too.. Ground mail wouldn't trouble me at all.. Since I can't use my car for another 3-4 months anyway, because of the winter.

But doGGy, could you take 15 minutes some day and check around if you find the exhaust for sale anywhere? My guess is you know a few places around in Europe who might have or be able to get something like that.

Not sure if this will be of any help. But just an estimate. USA to Norway (as in your location) for 25lbs (not sure what the exhaust weighs).

also, keep in mind Customs. Not sure how yours works.

Thanks, but it's rather size than weight who make it expensive I think.. The box that the exhaust comes in is rather huge. Anyway, it should not be 1000$ I can live with around 150$, so Economy freight even though the exhaust is bigger and heavier than 25 lbs should still not be above 100$, considering the numbers above.

Romas might find the exhaust somewhere in Europe though, so I'm waiting to see if he gets lucky. Or I might get something from Japan alongside someone elses stuff.

But thanks alot for your help It's appreciated!

No Problem. For you own personal reference, the US Post Office allows you to look up all the rates for shipping on thier website for all countries shipped to. www.USPS.com . It's pretty good overall, so it may help. I also do a lot of shipping, including overseas, so feel free to ask me any Q's about shipping with the USPS.
