Freight cost - Parts from spain ?
« on: March 06, 2011, 11:20:23 am »
anyone know what i could roughly expect to pay for freight on some plastics from Spain?

i put an ad up on a USA site and got a bite in 24 hrs from a bloke from Spain, he is going to come back to me with a price, i am a bit concerned that it may be a scam and will do my money.

The former sherco importer over here used to reckon 2/3s of the freight cost for parts out of spain were internal shipping, from memory a $2000 box of parts cost around $500 to get to him in NZ but a set of plastics shouldn't be anywhere that bad
