Hi all

I need to send a wheel sized parcel to the USA. Any suggestions for a courier that wont break the bank??

Cheers
Paul

    Where do you live ?
    If you know someone in business, the best option is to get them to send it via contracted mail, I can send a package to the US through work for around £15, and im sure its far more for a personal single item ?

    yup ups maybe tnt

    mark them as used and undervalue the cost of them on the customs form

    otherwise there could be a hefty tax bill when they turn up

    I'm up in Hoylake on the Wirral VTech. Cheapest quote i've found so far is £51 !!

    Its a warantee return - so shouldnt be any tax to pay (i paid that on the original wheels)

    Last time I sent a pair of wheels to the US it was £90. Use Fed-Ex/UPS if you want it to get there, USPS (Royal Mail) if you don't.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
  • Check on www.parcelmonkey.com, they have quite a few different options for international packages. I get good deals from them when sending packages over to Austria.,
