Courier Help?

[gmonkey]

Anyone know any good couriers? Im buying 5 wheels & tyres (Nurb VXR ones) off a private seller in scotland (looks like about an hour out of edinburough). Just looking for a cheap courier (thats reliable) dont care so much about delivery times so can be sea mail, dont mind (id like to get them asap but dont wanna spew out $$$) ive tried aus post and they quoted around 200 for a package self wraped at around 20-25kg (this is a guess not sure how much 18"s with tyres would roughly weigh)

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks guys/gals!:D

20-25kgs??

when i sold my old chrommies they weighed that much each!

[gmonkey]

thats what i mean there 20-25 each :p so yeh 200 each wheel!! which is steep in my mind

fedex same sorta pricing 798 for all 5 wheels/tyres door to door service

Fast Lane International Couriers. (http://www.wedelivertheworld.co.uk/book_index.php) Got my front splitter here for $100 when Fedex was quoting $600+, has to be worth a try.

does 68x68x23 sound about right dimensions for 18" with tyres? tyres are 225/40/18

if they're just wrapped in bubble wrap...then yeah, that's about right.

[gmonkey]

to work out tyre diameter its 225 x .4 isnt it to equal mm devide by 25 to get inches.. then plus that to 18 would have total yeh?

[sooty]

63.754mm diameter...so that parcel size is the absolute smallest they'll be :)

Their service was brilliant, got here in 3 days, sorry you're not having better luck... did you speak to someone? They might be able to do better.. is always going to be a expensive though. :(

[mr corsa]

ur paying for the space taken up not so much the weight

nurb parts arent stocked at holden dealers... and you cant get vxr parts from holden either without a VIN number :p and due to holden quoted 2200 for the sri-t rims for 4 id hate to see limited edition rim pricings :p lol

You're looking at it being expensive how ever you get them. Unless you're lucky enough to find some in Aus :p

Oh and mate, how much was that steering wheel you were looking at buying? I've found one for 50 pound.

wouldnt they be like $3000 + brand new?

[gmonkey]

more like 4-5k+ id say USC but i doubt they sell them... if called about nurb parts before and guy said there was nothing in the systems for them :p

[gman]

You might have better luck talking to Fast Lane. I have used them too and they are EXCELLENT!!! From Germany and UK. The quotes sound like air freight not sea freight.

If times not an issue give them a call and see if they can sort a sea shipment for you...

You dont like my chromies ????

[gmonkey]

not really sorry :p looking for race/rally style rims and these nurb rims go perfect :D;)
