shipping tyres from the states

<< < (2/6) > >>

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
yup US shop sellers don't always like to send  ::)  and if they do it cost a bomb  :shocked:

GavinDavis:
I know yeah, naff aint it! The us seller on the bay (dana something or other) will ship a pair of tyres for 14 dollars......porkchop are about the same too so I dont understand what the drama is to be fair?

Rabdul06:
The problem is that the USPS is crap. You cant get tracking outside of the US unless you use UPS/Fed-Ex etc which are a lot more expensive....!!! They also have so many requirements that vary from postie to postie, office to office and state to state that basically no-one in the USPS knows what the hells going on....

Im 100 miles from Canada and that may as well be on the dark side of the moon as far as the USPS is concerned ;D ;D

Obviously this leads to all sorts of drama when people don't get what they bought or lie or it does get lost etc etc etc ...

threaders:
I use USPS priority mail international and always get the seller to post with this service. You get a tracking number and when it reaches the UK it is then given over to parcelforce and you get another tracking no. Sometimes I get customs charges, but if the seller marks them as gift and puts value at £30 or under, you get away with it.
I only buy from the US now if I'm getting a real bargain, otherwise its not worth the effort :daumenhoch:

deeman:
So,what ya got Gav?A nice set of white Haro's?? :daumenhoch:
