shipping problem - heavy or big part to europe - shipping inside cars

hi,

i still need some parts for my project. some heavy ( brake parts from cb-performance ) and maybe also some parts wth big dimensions ( seats and frame parts ). unfortunable cb do not ship with usps and the big parts should be to big to ship with usps...

can anyone help?

i think best way will be to ship inside a car that ist going from us to germany. do anyone ship cars to germany from time to time and will be able to help? do anyone know anybody who is maybe able to help or do anyone have an other idear???


thanks and greeting from the old world

Hello Robert, you may try shipping by airfreight or contacting a freight forwarding company (like Keune and Nagel) for an LTL container coming over. If there is something coming to your country a freight forwarder will know if there is space in the container.

I shipped 2 fitness machines (I make them in Taiwan) which weight about 300lbs each and are about 7 feet long to Chicago by air for $900.00. Gives you an idea what your box should cost.

Seriously go the freight forwarder route and ask for some space in a container and they will find it for you.

*** I will be in Frankfurt tomorrow morning, now only if I could fit that in my luggage ***

hi mike,

i am shure you are able to take the parts with you to frankfurt. you just have to be strong enough...

but there is no doubt - if you have 2 fitnes machines...:-)

i contact a company before, but they have a minimum charge of 300,- US$. if i only want to ship the brake parts it is a little bit to expensive...

therefore i will be very glad there is anybody out here, you ships a car to germany and can load the carts inside the car. i pay a good tip and we both are the winner...

Just curious - Why would you ship TAIWAN/Brasil brake components from US to Germany? Ghia front disc components and 914/944 rears should be readily available there. I thought all the 1303 T1s there also had front disc brakes as standard. Only maybe unique part available in US would be the welded-up dropped spindles which would fit in a suitcase.

If you know someone in the US military there - they might be willing to have parts shipped to their APO address -- fairly low USPS (domestic) rate and avoids customs too.

hi wolfgang,

unfortunable i do no one from the us-military till today, but a realy good idear! maybe there anyone here...?

concerning the parts itself: i desire the wide5 dropped disc brake set ( front and rear ) from cb-performance. if you know a better source i will be glad you let me know.

do you have an adress for brazil or taiwan supplier / manufactor? i do not found one in brazil ( only mercadolivre.com.br, but there are only a very few parts...)???

thanks and greetings
