It cost me $38 to send a Dingo body to the states, and the box was only a couple inches bigger in length, width and height of the body itself. That was also priority with delivery confirmation.

Yea he's paying for the shipping or they won't be going at all. He just seem to think 28.00 for priorty and tracking was too much but after seeing your posts I'm afraid he won't be getting my wheels.  |

USPS priority is the way to go. ANd their website says you can get delivery confirmation.

usps priority with delivery conformation tracks all the way to his house... if its just wheels they should fit in a small flat rate box with is $12 to canada... If the customer is not willing to pay extra for international shipping...well then its up to you |

Oh if you feel like breaking the law mark international packages as a gift and declared value under 20$ so the buyer doesn't get taxed.

I'm in Canada and I think usps is wacked. They must work on a "what day of the week is it" system. I've had tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff shipped to me over the years and I have yet to figure out how they calculate costs. Example, last year I had a complete front diff for my quad sent to me, a good 15lbs, in a box at least 1x1x1'. Shipping=$35. Couple weeks ago, brushless motor for my maxx, 6oz, box 4"x6"x4". Shipping=$18. If i sent the same brushless motor back to the states in the same box.....$6. I just don't get it. I've been wanting to order a Hand Bros CMS kit also but TCS wants $30 to ship it!!!! Just stuff it in a padded envelope for 3 bux and call it a day.
