shipping a roof

[Robbbyg]

Hi guys im looking to buy a 911 roof (the seller is in Chicago) t havent had any luck with shipping except for astronomical quotes, ie,$2600 !!

Has anyone shipped a large package from the States TO Australia?
I dont mind if i have to wait even if it has to come by boat for that matter i just want to get it here somehow and with the most economical charge

note * Ive Tried USPS but they wont ship that size

Can you squeeze it in with somebody else's shipment? Would work fine alongside a car or anything that does not quite fill a container.

Btw how are you going with your car? Pics?

Good idea, will try a secondhand car import company here in OZ..

Car is a mess, lost the photo i had where all the nuts and bolts went.. so am starting reassembly from scratch lol, having said that if i took a photo of car in present form many here would cry

Not sure if this helps, not sure if sizes are the same depending on cuts, etc.
I've shipped a carbon roof skin from metro Detroit to Madrid, airport to airport, customer doing the pickup on his end for about $400usd with a freight forwarder

You could try standby cargo with the airlines. Also mixed containers. I just sent Porsche 912 engine to Holland from Vancouver in a mixed container filled with individual items. 230 dollars. Thought that was pretty good. With the airlines they will ship stuff cheaper if you are not in a hurry and they have room. Give Quantas a call. Goodluck Thanks rob

I have a mate that shipped a bunch of dodge charger body panels to Sydney from the USA I'll ask him who he used I'm pretty sure it was by container and affordable

Cheers
