Title: Shipping question
Post by Violent_Rage on 08/26/15 at 02:02:50
Hi all,

I am preparing for the imminent arrival of fall and I would like to buy different parts for the bike.
A couple of them will definitely be the Verslavy and the Head Plug Replacement.

In my projects there are also the tank replacement with a Peanut, probably the Ryca, and the installation of a Dyna muffler that, in U.S., are much cheaper than in Europe, about 5 times less.

However, each provider would charge me the international shipping costs, making it very expensive!

Do any of you know a method to ship all spare parts that I need, once and all together?

Thank's in advance!  :)

Trawl Ebay for parts, UK and German sites usually have a good assortment. You'd be surprised what you can find at a reasonable price if you are patient. Google translate is your friend.
When you do find something in the US you need, try to go for independant shipping companies like UPS or DHL that handle their own import charges - You get the parts delivered quickly and am then billed the import charges which are usually much less than local import.
When shopping in the US I usually multiply the item price + shipping by a factor of 1.25 to 1.3, to approximate price after import duties, and compare that against the EU prices. If they compare I shop in the EU.

I realize that doesn't answer your question fully, but those who provide shopping services where you can gather many shipments into one usually charge a premium for it. So you are better off cutting expenses on each item.

Small parts that weigh under 4 lbs and can fit in a box shorter than 12 inches can be shipped US Mail first class for around $25.00 depending on the weight. For bigger stuff I would shop around. US Mail has overseas package shipping but I haven't used it lately.
