UPS shipping
« on: September 29, 2008, 09:47:42 am »
This has been raised in the recent past but can't remember the shared wisdom on it.  Does UPS offer a low cost 'slow boat' shipping service to Australia or not?  ie, do i have any choice but to accept the US$43 shipping quote for my US$25 muffler if time isn't an issue???

i did once find my way to a UPS website page that seemed to say there was a slow boat service but can't find it now.

Ask for USPS?
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

No slow boat shipping from USA by USPS (United States Postal Service) now at all. Only "Air Frieght".   Don't know about UPS. If it is a complete muffler and header system $45 is about what you pay now unfortunately I have found.

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Dont even bother getting a ups quote, USPS seems alway to be cheaper, especially if you can get it in a flat rate box $37, and i believe there also is a smaller one to at about $25 ( if its just the tip )
