That would be great if you could. I have got a quote from you guys but it seems expensive compared to american quotes. They seem to be quoting around the same price whether its usd or GBP. So obviously usd ones work out about 1/3rd cheaper. Still waiting for a few more quotes though.

I'll see if I can find out and let you know

right the tax code for car parts all seem to be the same 4.5% duty + vat which will be 17.5% again.

Am I right in saying

it'll be $200 (doors) + $325shipping +4.5% then add on 17.5% on top of all that.

Any idea how much destination handling and relative costs for release of goods our?

Good Lord. Much more and you could have had someone fab you up a brand new set at this rate!!

I'm still new to this area so I don't know many of the companies otherwise I would have been able to get you a deal if I was still out in Minnesota. Out here, I'm just another schlep paying full price for everything.

Sounds about right. The courier will usually lump a charge for collecting the tax on top (think it was in the £10-£15 range last time I got a shipment from the US, but it varies by company).

Shipping from the US to UK is horrendously expensive and often costs more than the goods themselves.

It's almost to the point that it would be cheaper to buy a round trip ticket on BA and hold them in your lap on the way back!!

Except that TSA won't allow car parts through the security checkpoint.

Hrm, checked luggage anyone?
