Hi Guys, just joined today here;s my 2c worth...I have been & sold logistics & Supply chain management for the last 13 years..so i might have awee bit of detail & data for you.
1. Shipping USA unless this is a smaller item Less than 50kgs use Seafreight - Why - 12-14 Days transit ex LA to AKL..charges can be as low as 60-70USD per m3/1000kgs which ever is the greater plus some other ancillary charges..im working logistics for an Importer now but i can still go through my mates for discounted freight even id you do want to move via Air..also any Customs clearance proceedures..but for the better part if the goods are for your cars...have it listed as performace and you avoid any Duties
2. Shipping ex UK or anywhere else..is same as above...bare in mind that unless the goods are coming from Australia all quoted freight rates to you will be in USD (as primary currency) unless you are talking local charges..Docs / Pickup / Export charges etc which are mostly in the origin currency i.e ex Europe would be in Euro excluding the freight again which is in USD.
Its a very simple matter but if anyone wants any help on this eMail me on: bmwboy325i@hotmail.com
I have been bringing in car parts going back as far as i was the inital importer of Redline Oils before it was handed to RPM imports in Wellington so i might have a wee bit of been there done that..which will save you all time & money...glad to help.
Mike
