Normally I'd stick parts in the luggage or big stuff I'd take down the US post office, mark it as a gift / low value and send it back to myself. I'm out there soon and need to send a big fan shroud back, are there any better ways than USPS these days that don't charge silly money? Normally I'd use Russ Pepper for big stuff but I need this back quick so needs to be Air freight.

Have you considered bringing it back and just paying the excess luggage charges.

 

[RESTOROD]

Cut it in half and pack it with your other stuff?

Bring it back as excess luggage

I'll have to look into that, not sure what that would cost

Cheers, Rockauto don't stock them, it's for a 57 Chevy.
Roughly worked it out on USPS at $65 to ship a box that size so reasonable enough.
I've never paid excess baggage but expect it to be higher than that?

check with your airline, to see how much it is to have an extra suit case, think you can with most airlines, but their prices very , good excuse to by more stuff :tup:

Worth doing Al, i always get an extra case with Virgin. pre booking it as well as its cheaper.

if its $65 usps, + the duty etc this end, I would say an extra case is the way to go, plus if you pick up any other bits and pieces, you've got something to get them home in.
