Any Aussie members ever have stuff shipped from the US?

I have some valve covers from my previous car for sale on another forum and a guy from Australia wants them. Before i go through the trouble of bringing it down to the post office i was wondering what a ballpark figure would be. He seems to think it may be too expensive. The VC is around 10lbs.

Thanks for any imput,

Jay

Its not expensive via sea, at bit pricey via the air. I would think well under $100 AUD through UPS.

If the total value is kept under $1000AUD he shouldnt have ay problems with import taxes either.

I would say it would be well under 100 AUS as well.

I have bought stuff form the states ranging from a 180pound wooden crate filled with adjustable struts etc, to smaller packages like nismo grills etc

The grill was a similar size and weight (had some other stuff in the package too), and although i ended up getting it shipped for free from chloe@ midwest, she quoted it as around 30-40 dollars airmail.

she did however mention, she was lucky to get the grill to fit inside the box, any larger and the shipping costs become greater.

p.s. whilst i was signing off for the 180 pound wooden crate, the fedex bloke told me anything greater than 250AUS value gets taxed.

I have sold and shipped several items to Australia through eBay auctions

If you are using the US Post Office, go to their website and you can find out what the cost would be for any type of shipping service (offered by the USPS) to any country in the world. All you need is the size and weight of the package.
