I just sold an item (intake manifold) on eBay, an I am curious as to the postage rates I was quoted. The box measures 28" x 10" x 4" and weigh in at 11 lbs. It was won by someone in Germany, who is quite anxious to get it. However, I was quoted $134 for UPS and USPS which didn't ask for any zip info or address, just a country to be shipped to) listed the shipping for $25 surface (4-6 weeks) or $40 for a little faster time of 4-10 days. This seem to be quite a difference in price which makes me wonder - Has anybody sent anything overseas via USPS and were there additional charges which I will incur that I am not getting off the USPS web site?? Hummm.... Barry Schwartz (San Diego) I have shipped Camber Compensators to Europe and can say that USPS is the preferred method of shipment if they are not in a big hurry. The CC weighs about the same as your package and I charge a $35.00 fee for shipping to anywhere in Europe. They quote up to 6 weeks delivery, but I have always experienced quicker delivery than that. The gotcha is that shipping to some countries can't be insured. But so far I have not had any loss so I think it is pretty safe. The total charges are assessed at the shipping point. But there could be possible customs charges due on delivery depending on the country. If you document the parts properly it should not be a problem. Mark them as "Used Antique auto parts country of origin UK". Regards, Joe *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
