Has anyone ever shipped an interior (all seats and doorcards) to the US before?

Any ideas how much this would cost roughly?

Any contact names or numbers for couriers would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance guys.

Someone on eBay trying to buy your stuff?

I tried to ship some side skirts over there once, and they were over the 1m80 (six foot) dimension limit that most couriers use. I can imagine that the rear bench MIGHT fit into that category too.

Apart from that, breaking it into seperate parcels might be more cost effective. I have no idea what weights you're looking at, but a front seat must be about 25kg, so two of those, plus the bench and door cards at another 20 and you're on the general 70kg weight limit now as well.

70kg via parcel2go (www.parcel2go.co.uk) to the states via FedEx is 169.99GBP 8O

you may be better off putting it all on a pallet, but I don't know of a specific company do deal with the shipping

was going to suggest www.onlinepallet.co.uk but they don't do overseas
