FOR SALE 3 Sets of New M119 Engine Mounts
- Thread starter TimL
- Start date
Will do Jeremy (@Jouser). What hold period do you have in mind?
P.S. Will ship the front license plate frame and one of the antennas to you later today
so that means you wont ship ? Can you check the shipping to Norway?
381 dollars in shipping ?
Stefan - that air freight cost Tim refers to was for the set of spheres I bought from him. But I take it overseas by boat (surface shipping) with JetCarrier, so it will only be ground shipping in the US over to their pick-up point, and the total shipping cost should be a fraction of that air freight. The downside is that it will take 5-6 weeks until you receive the package. I have used JetCarrier for many years on dozens of purchases in the US and it works really well; you decide the shipping methode (air/boat), they do the customs, offer insurance, give updated shipping reports, unload at the Norwegian harbour and ship it to your local post office - and you pay one bill for all and just sit calm waiting.

Way to complicated for my taste
Ive never ever paid that much for getting parts shipped.Last object i got shipped, was a mountain bike double crown fork..and i paid like 60 dollars in shipping.So i really do not understand where the 380 dollars in shipping comes into "play"...
Well, what can I tell you? I didn't make the number up. This is what the local UPS office quoted me for the spheres and I'm not going to subsidize the cost of shipping to sell these.Way to complicated for my taste
$380 is via UPS air freight. They are known to be insanely expensive. That's not what @500AMM paid.Way to complicated for my taste
Arnt, how much was the cost for surface/boat freight forwarding? I'm guessing it was far less.
ahh i gotcha. i guess there are some different possibilities though. But ive sorted myself out with new engine mounts..so i am good at the moment.But thank you for replying to my slow "ass" questions
no worries man.Im just " thinking" out loud. Nothin more..nothing less.I have sorted myself out with new engine mounts..so im good.But thank you for replying to my dumbass questions
The package with the spheres arrived at JetCarrier 3 weeks ago, but further handling has been kept on hold by me so I haven't got the bill yet. But let me come back on that.
A follow up of my post #22 regarding overseas shipping to Norway by boat. As mentioned in my previous post this is for a set of spheres I bought from @TimL, but they're roughly the same size and weight as a set of M119 engine mounts. Ground commercial shipping in the US over to my shipping forwarder JetCarrier was close to $30, and the overseas shipping became $30 as well. Due to the value of the spheres I chose a bit more insurance, $12 for that. Total shipping cost all the way to my local post office amounts to $72 - which is way below a fifth of the $381 air freight with UPS.
Shipping time is 4-6 weeks, dependent of how close my package arrives at JetCarrier and their next shipment leaving the dock. But air freight may also take 2 weeks in some cases due to customs handling upon arrival to Norway. When using JetCarrier the import duties/VAT are calculated by them and paid for by me allready, so the package goes straight away to me when unloaded at the port.

Go to "Pirate shipping " & open an account. They ship with UPS, & the charge is a fraction of what they charge if you go to a UPS office. I went to a UPS office in Florida once to ship to France & they quoted $256, I went to Pirate shipping & it was $65 for the SAME service. Also at the UPS office the girl did not have a clue about filling in the customs declaration, she couldn't be bothered. One of the other staff at the same location told be about Pirate shipping.Way to complicated for my taste
