I ship from JDM, Freehold New Jersey anyting from a built motor or transmission to small items and service parts.

Large items I use Concordia Airfreight they handle all the paperwork and I collect from the deport near Heathrow or they deliver if you want.
Good helpfull service and can get a motor shipped and sorted well within
a five day window.

Small items and light stuff either UPS or Fedex.
Most recently Fedex door to door.
Last set of headers and complete system with other parts came in strong cardboard crate/box with ply base for forklift.

Tyres came shrink wrapped in pairs.
Small items in padded mail bags.

then + customs, make a few days of it, fly over buy everything else you might be thinking about & bring em back woth you, work out cheaper & you get a free holiday
last time I brought a pair of headers for 440 mopar, 6 shockers & loads of little bits back & my mate brought an expensive mountain bike back (used it over ther first so did'nt look brand new)

I'm in the same boat as you m8. I want the same headers but for a 98-02 Camaro and really regret not having placed an order when I first decided on them about a year ago. Yes, the shipping cost is steep, but the exchange rate was much more favourable then, making the total figure not quite so frightening! Think it was LMPerformance that worked out the cheapest then, but there wasn't a lot in it.

What I'll probably do is have a word with the place I bought my Camaro from. They regularly ship over containers from the US and have offered before to add stuff I wanted to their consignment. That's how I got my GMMG catback system over here. Paying a contribution towards bulk shipping like that works out far cheaper than the kind of quotes you'll be seeing now.

Doesn't sound crazy, it *IS* crazy! I shipped in an entire exhaust B&B system last year and it was very reasonable and ultra quick. I'll have to dig out the bill and see who shipped it. scratchchin

Just a quick thought, try contacting Kieth at Eurovettes, he might be able to help with shipping as he imports a fair amount of parts.
