PLEASE, do you guys have any special tricks or companies that you use to ship stuff from the USA? Everytime someone wants something big from here, I feel stupid quoting them the $500-$700 that UPS or fedex wants for shipping a stupid $200 body!!!

Mike,
I get everything sent by US Post. It's the cheapest and best I've found. So far I've had 5 sprintcars sent this way. One minor problem and that was between Customs and Australia Post, not your guys. They have insurance also. Everything can be tracked.
Give US Post a try mate.

I agree and use the US post when I can. The problem is that they cant take big packages. A sprint car is the largest you can send. The limitations for the USPS is 36" long with a maximum girth of 79" including the length. Girth is the width and hight times two. Another words, the body I just sent you bob, was just about the maximum. It was 36" long and 10"wide x 10" wide. That makes it 76" girth. As you can see sending a body thats 40-60" long and 20" wide and 13" tall is impossible with USPS.

Mike, I was unaware of those restrictions....I've never imported anything so large.
Who, in the local membership is getting something that big sent out....JOSE what are you up to now??
