4 Wheels with Tyres from UK to AU,How much will the delivery be?

[Wraith]

Whether by sea or air freighting your looking at BIG $$$ to have a set of 4 wheels or even just the rims delivered from O/S to here !!! anything over 2kg in weight or 1.2m in length begins to attract high costs...

And then your going to get slugged with the usual import taxes upon collection, although I don't know if this will apply to a S/H O/S goods purchase ?? someone else can clarify on that one...

IMHO don't do it...unless the purchase is very very cheap to begin with...

Otherwise try to source the wheels locally - heaps of S/H stuff available here for cheap...save money and hassles...

Yep, there is a tax on any item over $1,000AUD, then there is another tax on top of that that includes the purchase price, postage and the previous tax!

Yep, 5% of the value of the goods is added "customs duty". Then 10% GST is added to both the value of the goods, the 5% customs duty, and the shipping.

You can dodge it by shipping them separately though..

nah if you receieve 4 packages from the same place in a reasonable timeframe they'll add them up and charge for for all of them...

only way to get past it is to post 2 wheels to someone else

Only if it's from a different sender, or to a seperate address, or not shipped at the same time

Or your seller is nice

or not shipped at the same time

Really? I assumed as long as they were on different assignments, customs would be too disorganised to notice. Looks like my neighbour will receive part of my next purchase

wasting your time

i pay just over 1300 AUD for a set of 4 18" VXR replicas with tyres landed.. shipping was only 180 pounds..

most places like fedex ud be looking at 600-700 AUD for shipping of wheels/tyres x 4. ive done bit of research over past few weeks trying to get wheels.. check ebay.de there is some good buys there (the euro is better to go against than the pound )
