    Hi to all the Fchatters.
    I recently bought a Cromodora wheel by eBay, but the problem is to ship it from USA to Europe on the cheapest way -not the fastest-. Any idea or suggestion? It seems that to ship a wheel costs 400 US dollars... I think that maybe it will be possible to ship it by boat, doesn't it?

    Many thanks guys

    boat is cheap but very slow and there is no way to track it so if it gets lost ..... it's lost

    I asked about "boat service" and they told me they went away with it.

    I sold a auto part on ebay to someone in Germany. It was a 20lb box and cost $49.00

    The wheel in a box will be about 30-35lb. $180.00 tops?

    Check United States Postal Servce DOT COM and see what it will cost.

    Hi Pizzaman Chris.
    Thanks for the advice. I just went from the USPS site and get a 154$ shipping quote to Spain in Priority Mail International, for a 44 pounds pack. Great!!!
    Many thanks again for your help.

    Cheers

    Antonio,

    Just double check on that. I think the Priority Mail is 1 or 2 size boxes they carry. One size is 15"x10"x4" and the other one is like a small square box.

    Not big enough for the wheel.

    Chris

    Thanks again.
    Just double checked and you're right. The Express Mail International has free size package. The cost for a 35 pounds package to Spain is 163$. Still fair...

    Many thanks

    P.S: If you need something, just let me know -I can work out Photoshop troubles, papers, certificates, stickers, everything home made of course...-.
