Default What freight companies to use for shipping parts from the USA??

Hi all !!

I want to purchase a set of Brembo calipers and rotors from the USA for my car. I have been told that the fright costs will be huge but I think that the purchase price and freiht will still be cheaper than buying here..

Can anyone recommend a feight company that that will pick up and deliver from the seller in the States and deliver to Aus?

Cheers Brad

See if they will send by USPS. I have found thay have good rates to Aust in the past. You will have to pay GST and get it custom cleared if its over $1000AU.

Try Pack&Send have used several times no problems, give them all the information for pickup and go from there, cheapest rates I have come across so far.
