Modena, the total is usually under $1000 when the exchange rate is 80c or better.

aren't customs grabbing these shipments as they're over $AUD1000? If so are you just paying GST on top?

Damn! I just got a quote from Tirerack - $334.30USD in shipping costs just for 2 rear tyres...!

I had a whole set of 18x8 and 20x10 wheels air freighted from another US company recently for that price...

That price was quite some time ago. Probably 9 months. Location in Australia probably makes a difference too.

Thats bad ,,,,But Try This.....

Got two bezels for the rear roll bar stays and a cap for the centre of my steering wheel sent over from Finish Line..

They arrived today by Air Freight as I had requested.

I had $250-00 credit owing to me for some headlights I sent back, and they used the credit as follows.....

$60-00 for the two bezels
$60-00 for the cap ( These three items would weigh a few ounces )....

And they claimed the remaining $130-00 for the airfreight to send them to me.

NOT F*****NG HAPPY ...and I let them know....

I'll let you know how I go.

Wouldnt that stuff fit in a small padded bag? I was planning on buying a whole lot of stuff from them in the next couple of months. Let us know how it goes, maybe i should find another source.

I have had a few deliveries from Yogi inc, for big stuff like shocks, handbrake etc and its less than that.

My rear tyres arrived from tirerack this week and the shipping was $232 USD to outer eastern Melb metro - roughly 50km from the airport. When I spoke to Fred at the time of ordering, he said another two tyres would take it to "less than $300". Double the weight/volume for only a few dollars more... go figure!
