Anyone know of a good courier that ships tech 2 kits?

I can only seem to find Transglobal that does it.

Based on 3 parcels

Front Splitter & Bumper - 15KG - 160 x 50 x 40CM

Rear Bumper/splitter - 15KG - 160 x 80 x 40CM

Side pods and spoiler - 25KG? - 190 x 40 x 40CM


Those measurements and weights seem right? Sizes Ive meassure, the weights I got from a good search.

Im gonna go and do a proper weight and size measurement soon but just wondering who people have used?

I thought so, but with those meassurements, the shipping comes back at around £1000+... That sound right? :mad:


Europe is around £200

Asia is about £1100

I just dont want to under do it too so need to double check on the size and weights anyway.

Although it seems a bit made someone would be willing to pay that much to ship a KA body kit out to the US :mad:

Think it was close to 1k by the time they paid for the kit and shipping.

It's amazing what the Yanks pay for lashed up old parts!

What you're paying for Jim, is a specified weight on a box size.
You bozx could contain 1KG, but a huge box, and you get billed for what you "Can" put in there.


Where's it going?

Especially for parts that were available in the US...like M tech 2 kits although they are a bit harder to find.
