try these guys, www.shipito.com
They are a mailing house in the states and as that deal in masses of freight their rates are un beatable. Theye are not a po box so almost anyone will ship to them.

All they charge is US$8.50 handling fee plus actual frieght cost per item. We've got everything from prams to racing headers through them. A lot of parts from people who won't sell over seas or deliver to PO Boxes.
It is far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if chequered with failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, as they live in grey twilight that knows no victory nor defeat.

Been waiting 6 weeks for a speedo healer from them. After 1 week I emailed em and they said "eta is end of this week". This was a month ago. They've since stopped answering my emails. still no goods in sight, and they still have my money. Bit shit really. If I'd have bought from US I would've had it a month ago.

Got some stuff coming from the states as we speak.
Placed 2 orders to keep cost under a $1000 each order.
1st order had 2 parts they were waiting for...I got the...
It'll be here next week then we can ship the whole order story..
Next email says 1 part won't arrive till mid Dec..FMD...
Cancelled those 2 parts to get the rest of the order shipped..
Here's hoping they show up soon..
they wanted me to pay another shipping fee when the back ordered parts show up.
Second order had 2 chain kits and blew the weight on the flat rate shipping fee so had to pay for another shipping charge..
And I'm still waiting for a refund on the 2 parts i cancelled
Pretty quick to take your cash not so quick to refund it.

My advice...
Check all stock ordered is on hand for immediate shipping.
Check that you won't be hit with additional shipping fees.

With all this rooting around and delays I ended up buying an extra part here that I need asap just incase the order doesn't get here in time

You start with a bag of luck and an empty bag of experience.
The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck...

The order I currently have in transit had a couple of back order parts in it. They originally said 2 weeks and I briefly thought of cancelling, but the other bits were no good on their own - then 4 days later I got an email to say it was shipped. Now if it takes as long as the previous box it should be here before the weekend.
