Shipping Lambo wheels from the US

[freewheeler]

Just been quoted $1100 to ship a set of Roadster wheels and tyres from the US to the UK! Seems like a massive amount of money!! Am I getting shafted, or does that sound about right??

Mandeep, what'd it cost you to get yours over pal?

HI Mate

I don't think I had a breakdown of shipping, it was all in the price I paid. They are heavy and you'll be paying transport for the air in the tyres as well :-) I would call DHL and ask them for a quote. Dont forget you'll have to pay import duty/tax on those babies as well!!! and customs will know as the shipper will have to state value in case there is an insurance claim, take the risk and say they are worth only $10bucks!!!

OK pal, nice one! The quote I had was through DHL. I was going to write the invoice price down a bit anyway! These rims are getting expensive!!

There is a PH'er on here somewhere who ships automotive parts US -> UK, sure they'll be along soon !

[freewheeler]

All is good, just had a new quote for just over $500 'all in' but they will take a tad longer!!

[godzilla]

$500 sounds very cheap! Is that by sea?

ericthebrave is the PH member who has a shipping co that flies parts over from the US.
