Tyres removed would make a big difference.
I shipped set of NA2 wheels and was approx £275 but you also need to factor in customs. Bumper was nearly £400
I ship a lot of packages so have a good account rate at UPS. Direct to UPS would be VV expensive.
I can quote you using my account if you want. Would need exact measurements and weights. Two packages of 2 wheels each would be best.
Delivery is quick though - 3 days or so
Not another NSX project!

drmikey has an established UPS account so DO get a quote from him to compare with USPS / Parcel Force.
As with him, getting rid of the tyres will save you loads.
The shipping for them, (the tyres) will probably buy a new set in the UK or near by and have money left over for a night at the local pub.

Hi,
Last summer a friend shipped 18/19 TSW wheels from California to Portugal.
It was 2 packages of 2 wheels each (WITH tyres) ... the total weight was 92kg and it costed $430 through FedEX.

UPS last year from Oklahoma to UK charged $700 for 4 wheels,no tyres, weight stated 84lbs, then UK additional import duty £33.59 plus import VAT £175.81 plus brokerage charges £11 plus VAT on that of £2.20.
DHL wanted more, Fedex I was advised quote an estimate, but charge 50% more, Post office much cheaper but tracking can be poor or absent.
A minefield indeed.
My friend has an account with them all, but stopped using Fedex because of erratic pricing & quotes, even for his $20,000 a year shipments !!
Thanks for all your responses and experiences, very informative and as Ian said, something of a minefield!
Mike (drmikey) is away at the moment so I think I'll wait until he returns and discuss with him.
Cheers,
Tony.
