Question about shipping costs to Germany

Hi,

just bought some rims on ebay ... they are in london
Now the seller wants 38gbp for shipping the 2 rims to germany.
he says it takes 3 days
they are 28" @ ~330g each

i paid 45gbd for shipping a 13kg frame some weeks ago, so i think this is quite too much

what's the cheapest way to ship them since i don't need them to be here as soon as possible?

Should be about £25 according to the company I normally use. If you like ask if you can arrange the courier and if he says that it is okay then pm me and I'll sort it all for you.

still very expensive, sending from holland to london only costs 13,10 euro for up to 2 kg

The courier I use will charge according to size rather than weight upto a certain weight for the size....if that (I) makes sense.

Royal Mail up to 2kg is £11.29 but "Length, width and depth combined must not be greater than - 900mm The greatest single dimension must not exceed - 600mm". A pair of rims will be too big and with packaging maybe more than 2kg too.

Like I said I will arrange a courier if the seller agrees, I will only ask you to pay what I will pay cos good karma from kind deeds is always welcome.

it's 17 euro from germany to uk for a pair of rims ... still quite good price i think

I'm propably going with the courier

Try these guys;

www.interparcel.com

21gbp there ... thanks for the site

No problem. They always seem to have the best prices for shipping to Europe and they collect. It's perfect.

Sorry Schnitter as I just said in my pm giving you the link to the courier service I use would have been the easiest option, I seem to keep it close to my chest like my best kept secret!

Anyway http://www.p4d.co.uk/ are who I use which are about the same price as interparcel depending on size.

Good luck
