basically its never cheap, i ship stuff in all the time internationally, waiting on packages now actually..

wheels i have done, depending on how big and how heavy id say they could be anywhere up to 600 dollars in shipping to Australia, I bought wheels from germany before cost me nearly 2000 to buy them, get them here and pay the duty...

give ukbrandsworldwide.com - UK Specialists in Personal Shopping and Package Forwarding a try

I havent used them, but they quoted me around £200 for airfrieghting 4 wheels

Its not cheap i had a guy in Aus organize it for me, also be careful make sure the guy on the other end does pack them nicely seen a few stories of damaged wheels in shipping not fun when you pay $$$$$ for them.

also, make sure you arrange door-to-door freight, otherwise you end up having to go through the local customs clearance process yourself here

If you can find room in a container and your not in any hurry, you can save a heap too!

That's not too bad. Did you source the quote by email/web or did you ring up a call centre?

through the web on a site called transglobal express.. ill be ringing DHL direct before booking tho to double check all is good.
