I have holidaying in the States and may ask him whether he could bring a rear bumper back for me (I missed Ron's container this month). How feasible is it to check-in such a long and chunky item? Is the airline likely to refuse it or just charge a whopping amount?

I'm awaiting his reply smile. Does he tend to do this often?

Ive brought back front and rear sway bars ok.

Just check it into the odd sized luggage zone. As long as the weight is ok.
I took this instead of my check in baggage and told the wife to travel light.

Also torque converters, intake manifolds, cylinder heads (v8 x 2), disk brakes, front suspension arms etc. You get some strange looks, but Ive never had an issue.

Just wrap it up nice, it will look like ski gear wink

Is there likely to be a charge for this? He has check-in baggage.

I brought back a zr1 splitter in a huge box, when asked at check in what it was, my reply of 'ex wife' went down so well
I wasn't charged (or cavity searched). Box was opened between leaving me and arriving in the uk
