crazyarab 6 Report post Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) So I am trying to sell these BBS CH' mags and a few members have expressed interest but are wanting to know shipping costs. I got on the phone today and rang a few companies and it all seems awfully expensive!? Looking for shipping costs to Aussie / Auckland (from Christchurch) at this stage. UPS quoted me over $800 to ship to Aus! Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced shipping companies? Cheers Edited June 2, 2009 by crazyarab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Thats Crazy I was looking at geting a bumper from the us, and that was about $450nzd, they didnt tell me which company though Asked my parentals they get stock shipped from spain and italy, They suggested trying freight forwarding companies like tnt, not the fastest but most likely cheaper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very awkward shape, I was pleased with that price. I just rang up Transport Logistics and they quoted me $60 to ship all four mags to Auckland... surely you can't get cheaper than that! Aussie is still a mystery though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted June 2, 2009 Aussie is still a mystery though.They didnt want the work mate. I used to do that all the time when I was 'in the industry'. Personal effects are a nightmare to handle so you price yourself out of the market. If your still taken up on it, at least you make a fortune from it, but otherwise I think you'll find they just arent interested. Can they not get BBS CH's in Aussie ?

Seems like I have the only used 5x120 set for sale in Australasia Either that, or it's my asking price. Edited June 2, 2009 by crazyarab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetm3 180 Report post Posted June 2, 2009 I spent about a year hoping a set of second hand 8.5 X 17, 38-41 offset would come up, I also checked out NZ & Oz for a new set. To get a full set of 8.5's you either buy 2 new sets and split or import from the states. gave up in March settled for a set of 8". BUGGER Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took about a year looking for these and snapped them up the second the were up especially considering they popped up in Christchurch. Still very reluctant to sell, but if it's going to a bimmersport member then at least they will be appreciated and put to good use Edited June 2, 2009 by crazyarab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
