Title: Bike importing from the USA
Post by: Topcat on June 25, 2007, 01:46 PM

Can't remember what I paid for my Skyway as it was a while ago.  :uglystupid2:

Any of you know roughly what the cost would be to ship? :daumenhoch:

Cheers

for a 20" bike you'll be looking at $140 up if it is an old bike with say motomags then expect to pay more becuase of the weight.

All depends on the person sending it. If they use USPS it's usually around $60 - $100

Thanks all

Thats around the figure I thought i had paid, got a feeling I have someone who doesn't want to take the bike apart or who has changed his mind.......

I'll email him back but haven't invested in any parts for it yet so if I lose it I lose it.

GMAC,

I have been told that USPS have hiked their prices up recently, that said of course we are enjoying a nice fx at the moment ;D

I haven't had anything shipped from over there for a couple of months, so my guesstimates are probably out of date  ;)

Like Frosty says it should be somewhere around $140-$160 for a complete bike.
