E30 Zone

i'm sending a tech1 s/wheel to singapore and the cost is £42.75

there must be a cheaper company?

weight,2.5 kg
L,39cm
W,39cm
H,13cm

or is this the norm?

If it would cost £20+ on average just to go half way down the channel to Jersey, then I imagine that the poor bugger in singapore will probably be unfortunate with shipping quotes.

It is Singapore! Seems quite reasonable to me, and to just own and tax a car over there you have to be minted so I wouldn't worry about the cost too much.

For a start the Singapore customs fee is 31% for vehicles and accesories. Next up car tax is levied on engine size and for every year older than 10 years old an extra 10% is levied for car tax per year. ie. a 18 year old 1.8l BMW E30 would be taxed at 180% the tax rate of a new 1.8l BMW. Lets not forget ERP!

sounds about right to me, i just paid 45quid to send a document from here to UK, - DHL overnight service and it was only about 70 pages of A4!!

Try interparcel

Can't do online trackable or obtain proof of delivery to Singapore either. Not eBay friendly.

just trying to provide a good delivery price for the buyer ebay ,zone or otherwise

Like I said, an E30 owner in singapore is going to be ULTRA minted.

i'd say so at the overall paid sum

A new E36 BMW 328i (2.8cc) cost the equivelent of UK £100,000 in Singapore. Imagine what new E30's cost and what second hand car prices are like.

he is a no nonsense buyer and welcome back.

yep sadly we in australia tend to pay a premium in postage also,the freight rate from the states works out cheaper for us but the range available in england out weighs the states.

I suggest doing it a signed delivery to Singapore, Thailand and similar places. They do tend to go missing sometimes. It doesn't cost too much more.

would interparcel be good for shipping an A/C setup to hongkong? how do i go about getting a quote?! i must weigh 30Kgs!

quote and book

Remember air freight is calculated volumetrically - length x breadth x width in cm divided by 6000 - the answer is in kg and that is what you will pay for
